The six non-dithering values are as follows:
-Hex- -Dec-
00 0
33 51
66 102
99 153
CC 204
FF 255
>From the Hex set, if you are to choose 1 out of 6, and then another 1
out of 6, and then another 1 out of 6, there are 216 different
combinations possible, not 256. I don't know WHY... I just know that it
does.
Equation: 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/216
So if you concate the three elements you selected, you will get 1 out of
the 216 possible hexadecimal values for a non-dithering color. HTH! ;-)
