bThank you all for looking !Linda: Oh, that's the problem! My monitor is calibrated :). A recently purchased Dell 24 inch LCD.Lynette: I have older work, too, which is sometimes quite a problem. These were recorded on film, which adds another layer of corrections. I added the small white border around the black because the black borders alone don't always show clearly on line. Noticed this first with illustrations for books, and I just carried the idea over to anything that needs a black border to begin with.
Lynette: you downloaded an image? Oh, dear. I never thought to check. It would seem unnecessary in a Squarespace template that adapts to tablets and cell phones. Argh! Maybe I can add one in "Save for Web" function and make it easy. Sigh 2.
Ann: I should actually read the instruction to my Epsen V500. Maybe there's a background color substitution there as well :). Of course, one device's "white" can be another's pale pink or gray.

I can verify it too now: they are white. I should have thought of this first. I grabbed your vireo image, opened it in Photoshop, then took my eyedropper tool to see what value the background has. It reads 255 everywhere I check. You can't get whiter than that!
