        I assume you meant "You can't form...", and you're right.  My point
was that for VT100, switching to a non-dithered pallette would be nice--I
usually set the default text color to light grey, so bold shows up as white. 
The white is very readable, but the grey isn't.  Is the aqua-blue more
legible than the grey?

        That would be cool...
