If close shades are not placed side-by-side, you can see about 4,000 colours. If they are, about 8,000. Just 1 pixel width is very small on today's monitors, so I don't know if you would be able to tell the difference. Even different intensity can change a colour. Two examples are yellow #ffff00 and olive #888800 and orange #ff8800 and brown #884400. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn "It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years." --John von Neumann, circa 1960 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
