The colors, are always so much more vivid with GDK .
While GDK is an awesome tool,, Thats just not true about the colors.
If you want nice colors you can use rgb(foo,foo,foo) or _RGB(foo,foo,foo)
in any program whether you use GDK or not and get the very same colors
as when using the GDK.
Just using 'COLOR, foo, foo' you may not get what you realy want
depending on the screen mode your using.
