I don't know if this helps, but try a 16-bit hex value made up of ONLY those digits. (e.g. - "33CC", "FF00", "CC99", etc.) Grayscale (on a 256-color display) includes only 64 shades. On a so-called "paperwhite" display (B/W VGA monitor), only the GREEN components of R-G-B in a color picture will display. This is why "Bright Red" (FFFF) is very dark on such a monitor. I once wrote a little conversion program (long lost during a HD crash) that moved the brightest component's value (R, G, or B) into the green register making color photos on a B/W monitor look much more normal - but boy, did the resulting picture look terrible in color! - John T. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
