From: Gustavo Fernandez <FERNANDEZ@SU-SCORE.ARPA> Not that they are used or anything, but has anyone figured out what type of scheme Bill Atkinson used to assign numeric codes to the 8 colors in the (forthcoming?) color Mac? While they seem to be will distributed, I cannot figure out how they were chosen. They can all be expressed in nine bits but breaking them down into their bit patterns sheds little light. Anyone got any ideas? -------
