Majority of our devices today can display 16.7 million colors. This may sound as a lot but sometimes human eye can notice a difference between two neighboring colors. I have encountered this problem while creating some fractal images. The solution to the limitation is usage of dithering. This article describes the problem and presents a simple solution. Read on ...
