We have been rendering objects for placement on WWW pages (transparent GIFS) that have a "target" background color of RGB 197,197,197. In order to achieve this, we have to set the background color to RGB 196,196,196. We have set gamma correction OFF, dither 256 OFF and ambient light to 0,0,0. Also, when the gamma correction is toggled ON or OFF the background color value changes significantly (RGB difference of 24 to 37). We always set it to OFF before setting the background color. Are these known problems? Cal Rodgers
