- I hope this is the best place to post this......
- I need to get 256 unique shades of green for some landform
- visualization I am doing. I am writing the program in 32-bit code for
- MS-DOS but am restricted to the lousy 6-bit color registers on the
- non-HICOLOR svga board I am using. Therefore, I can only get 64
- unique shades :-(. Does anyone know of a decent algorithm or tip on
- how to mix the red and blue registers to increase the number of unique
- green shades. If possible, to put these in a dark to light order....
-
- A yellowing of the new greens is fine, but I want to try to avoid
- bluing of them. Thanks in advance for any help!
- Cheers
