Device: Kindle Keyboard Wifi
SOLVED: Need to know Kindle Keyboard supported greyscale values.

Hello everyone,

First off, I had also posted this question in the kindle main forum, however seeing as how you're developers and the content you create will have to display properly on the Kindle you probably know the answer so I'm also asking it here.

My question is, which color values exactly does the kindle keyboard support?

I bought a kindle keyboard wifi on ebay, and decided I want to put custom screensavers on it. I spent the past few days creating many photos, all 600x800, all greyscale, and all with as much contrast as I'm comfortable with. Today my kindle arrived and I immediately installed the jailbreak and screensaver hack. Now that I've got my custom images on the kindle I see a huge problem.
I had followed these two tutorials here to create the images:
http://www.ebookworm.us/creating-kin...ges-with-gimp/
http://blog.grapii.com/2011/09/how-t...-screensavers/

Those two tutorials both used the same color palette for dithering, however when I used the same palette on my images they didn't display correctly at all on my kindle. So does anyone know the exact colors of the kindle keyboard's palette?




Edit: I noticed in the posting rules that duplicate posting is forbidden, so I apologize for this. Unfortunately I don't know how to remove threads.
