Uh, Travis, it's *black*. It's *supposed* to be dark. People have
questioned/complained that it's not 'true black' (ie, 0,0,0).
You might be right about the origin of the 33 value, but I believe I was using that
definition for black before there was an 'official' color chart. So maybe the
51,51,51 value is a mistake. ;) Either way, I'm sure 33,33,33 and 51,51,51 are
related as you said.
The bottom line is that the ldconfig.ldr file (and the color definitions it provides)
are a starting point, not necessarily the perfect colors for all occasions. I'm open
to applying tweaks to it, but I don't think there is really one set of values that
will make everyone happy.
BTW, thanks for adding support for ldconfig.ldr to LDVIEW! :)
