I see your point and agree. Some colors have both high and low byte set,
some other colors do not.


@Mattias
What is the 48bit value for Maroon (#800000)?  R = $8000 or R = $8080 and
assuming all the other values are $0000


As defined by fpImage unit.

  colMaroon     : TFPColor = (Red: $8000; Green: $0000; Blue: $0000; Alpha:
alphaOpaque);


This is *incorrect*. It should be:

  colMaroon     : TFPColor = (Red: $8080; Green: $0000; Blue: $0000; Alpha:
alphaOpaque);

128/255  = 32896/65536 =  red channel $80 (in RGB 24-bit) or $8080 (in
48-bit) color.


I think this is the point Luiz is trying to make.
