Nick here: 24bit color actually (rgb is 3*8 as you can
see in Josh's disassembly of his "color32").  I don't
like to be pedantic, so didn't point this out until now
- but your exclamation mark indicates that (in the
finicky virtual world) even a little misinformation can
cause real distress to someone who is being plagued by
the bugs of software incompatibility. You're in good
company - the Okad team also call it 32bit color.

Caritas,
