I had a subtle bug in my code that boiled down to the fact I thought Color.Green has 255 as its green component value. It turns out that it has 128.

Isnt that counter-intuitive? Red is (255,0,0), blue is (0,0,255) but green is (0,128,0)?
For a real green it turns out that Color.Lime is the correct color to use.
Can anyone explain why this is the case?

thanks,

Strange that .Net chooses to define this color different than most other programming/graphics platforms. I think their attempt at green is ugly :-)
It would have been nice to be able to instantiate a real green color other than than Color.Lime or the bit hard to read (0,255,0).

Anyway thanks for the answer.
