Brown-Colored Clip Art Appears Yellow on EGA Displays PSS ID Number: Q64976 Article last modified on 10-29-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

Summary:

The Microsoft PowerPoint clip art graphic of a horse (from the ANIMALS.PPT file) may appear bright yellow on some monitors and brown when displayed on other systems.

EGA video cards and drivers cannot accurately approximate brown or brownish-yellow colors. Colors that appear brown on a VGA display will look bright yellow on an EGA display.

This behavior is a limitation of EGA systems, rather than a limitation of the software.
