I don't think identify is THAT good. :) |

I am pretty sure the "background" part is an artifact of the identify |
| 10 |
program, and not actually any information in the bmp file. AFAIK, the |
| 11 |
Windows BMP file format is just that: bitmaps. It does not store |
| 12 |
additional information such as the background color. |

I think the problem is that you converted from a format (gif) that stores |
| 15 |
information about backgrounds to one (bmp) that doesn't, and therefore |
| 16 |
the information got lost. |

If you try identify on the originals, you will probably pick up the |
| 19 |
correct colors. |

A mathematician's reputation rests on the number of bad proofs he has given. |
