very interesting.

For many people, ^k16 now looks like a muddy gray-green-blue $rgb(66,97,99)... while other people see white or black.

I guess this could be an indication of extended color support in the future, but currently see no way to modify this palette currently (by editing the mirc.ini or otherwise).

Very cool though!

Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
