[ferret_users] Defined colours, appear grey in ".ps files"

[Joshua DMello <jdmello@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Ferret users,

 When I plot something in a defined colour, using the command, PPL COLOR  , the ".ps file" does not show my defined colour. The ".ps file" shows only Ferret defined colours.
 This problem is not seen in ".gif files."
 I use FERRET v6.05 on     Linux(g77) 2.4.21-32 (Ubuntu).

The journal file is pasted below, and the ".gif" figure and ".ps" figure are attached.

 Thanks for any insight.

Regards,
Joshua R. D'Mello
