Seriously? I guess I was going by what I have seen in full-color images. I may have dismissed the GIF protocol too quickly, when I was doing a lot of graphics work. I'll take another look at it. I notice now that I can easily raise information on the format through Google, which wasn't really the case when I last looked for background on graphics encoding.
