If you have a monitor that represents colors more appropriatrly than mine, you may have noticed the TINIEST color discrepancies between these two images.
For those two can't tell the difference, the first has an almost black color with a code of 040006, whereas the second has a completely black of 000000. I had intended to make the entire game have the off-black.
I realized this was happening but only now really know the cause - rpg maker 2003 will approximate colors even further than allowed in the graphics files. The color values, at least near black, jump from 0, to 8, to 16 in-game. when in fact in the graphics the colors are 4, 8, and 10.
So, I've had to slightly alter the colors so that they, ya know, show up. Lol, now I'm used to straight up black :P
here's what it looks like now:
It's not PRECISELY what I had in mind, but what can you do. You just can't make it darker without going to straight black.

Normally I wouldn't really make a note of it, but I thought it was interesting that RPG Maker 2003 approximates its colours. I may end up just keeping it straight up black to be honest, since I think it worked so well so far, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I did notice that the colors weren't the same.
On one of my laptops, the difference is obvious, while on the other there's no difference.
