Rick: I read your message about illegal NTSC colors and it reminded me that I've seen an article about that subject recently …….<searching bookshelf> ….. Ok, there is an article about it in: Graphics Gems II Edited by James Arvo Academic Press,Inc. 1991 ISBN 0-12-064480-0 III.6 "Television Color Encoding and "Hot" Broadcast Colors" David Martindale and Alan W. Paeth pp 147-158 They talk about the problems of converting RGB <-> luminance and color difference signals and give an algorithm for detecting hot colors. It seems to be a pretty good article. Chris
