Just what I want Red, Green, Blue; dark Red, dark Green, dark Blue;
light Red, light Green, light Blue; etc...

The IBM gives you eight different colors, plus a darker or lighter version
of the eight, depending on how you look at it.

Disclaimer - I in no way speak for Cadnetix since Cadnetix machines have
only eight colors. (All at the same intensity. Except black.)
