I think you can use *colors* in the "PLOT" part of the program, but not
256^3 *different* colors (i.e., 24-bit).

Here's an example of a program that works great on a 24-bit X display, but
does not produce the appropriate color PS output. (No bitmaps involved.)

PRO TEST24, PRINT = print

IF KEYWORD_SET(print) THEN BEGIN
SET_PLOT, 'PS'
DEVICE, /COLOR, BITS_PER_PIXEL = 8, /SCHOOLBOOK, FONT_SIZE=10, /PORTRAIT
!P.FONT = 0L ;Use hardware fonts
ENDIF
PRINT, !P.BACKGROUND

n = 1000L
x = RANDOMU(seed, n)
y = RANDOMU(seed, n)
r = LONG(255*x)
g = LONG(255*y)
b = REPLICATE(0B, n)

PLOT, [0,0], [1,1], /NODATA
PLOTS, x, y, PSYM=1, COLOR = r + 256L*(g + 256L*b)

HELP, /DEVICE
HELP, !P, /STRUCT
HELP, !D, /STRUCT
TVLCT, r, g, b, /GET
PRINT, r, g, b

IF KEYWORD_SET(print) THEN DEVICE, /CLOSE
SET_PLOT, 'X'
!P.FONT = -1L ;Use Hershey fonts

END
