Since I received the same question in private mail more than once,
I guess I'll have to clarify. What I'm after is not exactly color
changes, but *palette* changes - changing the RGB/HLS components
of an existing color index, in order to display a new color.
I'm writing a full-screen interactive console application (and yes,
it has to be a console app for many reasons). One of the design
requirements is a customizable palette, so users can have some say
about what they'll be staring at for hours day after day :)
G'luck,
Peter
