No, just one set. Then compute the inverse of the colors in that set. By inverse I mean, the color that is to white as color X is to black. I don't know what formula is needed for that, but I presume someone does. > On another note, do we really need to strictly conform with the > 16-colour palette? I am not sure what "need to" means. It has been pointed out, though, that too many colors results in confusion. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
