Heyho, I don't think floats will help our cause at all. This would just use more space (at least I haven't seen a usable 8bit floating point specification yet) and we would probably use less of the values range. In floating point representation when dealing with colors only [0.0, 1.0] is used. 8bit per component are sufficient for the human eye. This leads to 2 ^ (3*8) = 16.777.216 colors. Can you differentiate any pair of them I would show you? --Markus
