Non dither? Ad a lot more different shades of those greens in betwen each one.. that will do the trick. and make it smooth (as long as the colors you use arn't to far apart or you will get obvious lines between to shades, like you currently have)

But seriously. That will make your sprite have way more colors... which isnt good, unless you just want it for looks.

Here is a quick job of what im talking about. But it will take a little fooling around with shades.

why not make some details around the barrels? like some sort of rings? that would breakdown the effect of separated colors.
also you could have a large area of  shade, and then a less space for separate colors.

Also, never underestimate the power of reflected light / 2nd lightsources.

I'd probably grab some of the flesh tones and reflect them onto the green barrels. You could also add dings, dents, etc.

Nice edit helm, now one thing that really caught my eye about this piece was the fact that the wheel axels were off by a tremendous amount.  Unless this is like a dune buggy something is really wrong here.  Even with the perspective and viewpoint its just too much. I can draw a picture if you cant understand my jabber.
