Yes, that's correct. The entire blue channel is missing. > >> Colours very messed up at 16-bit. > >Can you elaborate? What do solid red, blue, and green look like? > >% xlogo -fg red -bg black >% xlogo -fg green -bg black >% xlogo -fg blue -bg black > At 24-bit: -fg red Red -fg green Green -fg blue Red White (e.g. the background of google) looks like Yellow. At 16-bit: -fg red swirly pink, black and blue? -fg green swirly pink, black and green? -fg blue swirly blue, green and black? However, White is still white....
