Re: Now getting the exact colors on 16 bpp display

Thanks very much for explaining this. Shame on me I didn't realize I
could use more that two decimals... Now {0.753,0.753,0.753} really gives
#C0C0C0.
I guess this has something to do with the GIMP, but why use this model
instead of the usual 0..255 one? I'd say programmers find the second
more familiar.

Yes, at least Trestle does some very strange things with colors (I
haven't looked into screen-dependent resources, though).
