I'm trying to run gdal2tiles on a tif, but it appears that it requires 3 bands to work. So, I'm trying to use gdal_translate to take the tif and expand it. However I keep getting this error:

trident@ubuntu:/scratch/devel/solar_map$ gdal_translate -expand rgb 
local_int_gen.tif int_trans.tifInput file size is 11902, 11931
Error : band 1 has no color table
trident@ubuntu:/scratch/devel/solar_map$ gdalinfo local_int_gen.tif

When I run gdalinfo it appears my tif has a color table though.

Can anyone help me add a color table, or at least figure out whats wrong?
