Don't you know!
I'm going to guess that Device, Decomposed=0 will fix you up. :-)

Mike, give this a try:
(1) Download the procedures COLORS and COLORSET from
http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/colortools.html
(2) Close any existing IDL sessions, then start a new IDL session and
type
colorset
colors
(3) Create a magenta on white plot with the command
plot, indgen(10), color=1, background=7
See the documentation for COLORS for the color assignments. If this does
not work, let me know.
Cheers,
Liam.
