9.1.1 Simplified Mapping Approach

The easiest way to start with configuration variables is to try the various COLOR-MODEL settings described in this chapter (see, also, the entry for COLOR-MODEL in Appendix H, Book 4, "Appendices"). If your application is entirely black and white, then try all the odd-numbered settings (they affect black and white only), and select the one you like best.

If your program makes use of color, first decide whether or not you like the color portions as they exist in your program. If you do, then try the odd-numbered settings to change the black and white portions. If you want to modify your colored portions, then try the even-numbered settings.

Note that automatic transformations of programs that use color usually produce at least one odd-looking color combination. So select a COLOR-MODEL setting that comes close to what you want, and then make specific adjustments using the COLOR-TABLE variable described in this chapter (see, also, the entry for COLOR-TABLE in Appendix H, Book 4, "Appendices").
