My wife and I are working on a programming project together.  I have a
number of transparent .gif files that I've converted to BMP with
imagemagick's convert command.  I'm trying to discover what their
background color is so that I can make the backgrounds transparent once
again.  I've discovered the identify command.  Here's one image
'identified':

The background of the image looks green to me (0, 255, 0), but identify
claims it's white.  Is there a way I can know for sure without having to
go through all the RGB codes?  The convert created BMP's won't open in
gimp....
