DataGridView BackgroundColor property - Medical Monitor grayscale   

We have a PACS Monitor that only displays gray scale.

Our application is written in C#, using .Net 2.0

All controls when displayed in the gray scale monitor, display ok. When the 
BackgroundColor property of DataGridView is set to anything other than White, 
Red, or Green, the DataGridView displays the color as Black in the gray scale 
monitor.

 

I have a feeling it is related to the fact that the BackgroundColor property 
is of type Color( int32 Red , int32 Blue , int32 Green ). The 32-bit values 
only allow for 8-bit values (up to 255). I think that when casting the 
values, it truncates the lower/upper bits and displays either white or black 
(all 1’s or all 0’s ) in the grid

Has anybody run into this problem?
