I'm wondering about that the gray "colors" are the same. All the emulators 
do Grey 1 darker than Grey 2 but when I look at NTSC I agree with your 
calculation, they are same. Is this correct? Is the difference something 
that came with RGB cards and RGB output of IIc and/or IIgs? I think there 
was a difference on PAL but I might be mistaking there (it's a pity I never 
grabbed an image there, the frame grabber does both NTSC and PAL). Or is 
there a difference between II, II+ or IIe. Mine is a IIe now with enhanced 
US motherboard (NTSC).

I was toying with the idea to make a summing-network for XRGB (RGBI) to 
create the proper colors on an analog monitor (or TV with RGB in scart). I 
would use a PAL (actually GAL) to control a couple of resistors for each 
color but I need to know what to make... To mimic the KEGS emulator might be 
a good idea.
