PS -- Comparison of the "ega" GIMP palette (palettes/ega.gpl) versus the actual (6-bit RGB) EGA color palette: - http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h316/Stratelier/gimp-ega-palette-wait-what_zpsl8fka8a0.png
Why does the GIMP palette contain 256 entries of only 16 colors instead of the full 64 (or even the default 16 -- where's the red, the green, the brown?) ? Why are their RGB values on a 0-252 scale instead of 0-255? I'm wondering if this palette is simply broken, but if anyone has an explanation (or any information) I've missed I would like to know before trying to report it. -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2015 23:22:06 -0700 > Subject: [Gimp-user] GIMP's "EGA" default palette > > Are we talking EGA as in > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter ?
