The first error

GEM: Only using 8 color bits

means that GEM was only able to find a display which has 8 bit colors...I used to see this warning on old SGI Indys which didn't have the graphics upgrade. You should still be able to work, but you will see a lot of banding.

I am not certain about the other message...in gemwin, the color message only has 3 arguments...

Which version of GEM are you using? and which platform?
