Oh, oh. Should have used some of those ideas and programs
in that new book by ol' whatisname. PostScript doesn't do
24-bit color. :-(

That sample chapter he offers for free might help:

P.S. Let's just say that one of *my* big things
is writing device-independent and color-depth
independent code. But, I have to admit, there
are days, nay weeks, when I think I'm the only
one who cares about it. :-(
