We had some docs that contained 256-color PNGs, and those added hundreds of "RGB x, y, z" colors. We replaced the graphics with 24-bit ("true color") PNGs, and then ran a script to delete the RGB colors, but they wouldn't go away. What got rid of them was a "MIF wash" (save FM file as MIF, open that, and save back to FM). HTH! Richard Richard G.
