XV modifies the colormap to best fit the picture. Netscape takes over the colormap, but uses the same map (some standard distribution of the entire color space) for all pictures. It's pathetic. Lots of people have complained about this, but Netscape doesn't seem to want to fix it. The reason is supposed to be because Netscape might have to display more than one picture at a time.
