OK, this turned out to be my monitor..  I viewed a mocked up html page in 
netscape on the mac-side with the same hex values as "DarkGreen" from 
netbsd.  Voila!  Grass green.  So I tinkered w/ the master brightness on 
the back and got something a little more workable.  (Used to be a 
not-that-dark blue was #000001 =)  In case you still care, though:

... /netbsd: nubus0 at mainbus0
... /netbsd: macvid0 at nubus0: Macintosh Display Card
... /netbsd: Mac High-Res Gamma
... /netbsd: Possible modes:  0x80 0x81 0x82 0x83
... /netbsd: macvid0: 640 x 480, 256 color
... /netbsd: grf0 at macvid0

Thanks for the great job, Taras,
David Bushong
