I don't think there is much reason to limit it to 256 or to any other number less than 2^32 unless there is a threshold over which we can definitely discern that a user is making a mistake. Even with the range opened up, Ada still checks the type, Plot_Color_Type. > I chose to limit the range in > the bindings to 0..255 since that corresponds to 24 bits total for > r, g, and > b and is more than adequate to handle example 2. Not sure I understand, since 256 is the number of map entries, not the bits per color.
