Well, I found it by going to the IDL Tips page, clicking "Color Tips"
in the menu there, then finding the article "Can you explain how color
works in IDL?" in the list of color articles. I can't think off-hand
how I could spell it out any clearer than that. But I'll work on
it. :-)

What search terms did you try to use? The search "how does color work"
gets you right there. I do notice that the search "IDL colors" turns
up thousands of articles on the page, which may be too many. :-(
See the delightful book "The Paradox of Choice" in my book reviews
for the reason why.

Oh, hell, I'm not about money. Just don't tell my wife, please.

Humm. I don't know. I'll see what I can find out about this.
Cheers,
