Grey .Xdefaults colors

hi! well i was amazing by some grey screenshots and want to try them, the thing is that them didn't convinced me so im trying to make my own...

Well... I love phrakture colors and used them for a long time, so i get an screenshot and convert it to greyscale with gimp...

Re: Grey .Xdefaults colors

NOTE: oops, a re-read and I think it's that grey-scale is cool. nice!
ooh... cool tip...thanks!

Yep, I only have grey scale at this time. looking into it on my 2009.02 new uber-minimalist install.
This happened also with old install with urxvt-unicode-256color.
best wishes
