    “GIF images are limited to 256 colors.” → Myth busted! Here’s a true-color GIF with 32697 colors: http://mths.be/bme

        @mathias If I understand correctly, each block is still limited to 256 but different blocks = different colour tables = 32k colours per img.

        @mathias Is there any way to animate the true-color gif? Then we have true-color animation in old browsers ;)

        @branmovic The example GIF is animated — it doesn’t loop, though. Disclaimer: I don’t know of a tool that can create such GIFs.

        @mathias a) 32697 colors is not true color b) what's the advantage over PNG?!?

        @vor0nwe 1) It’s not “true color”, but it is true-color. (Difference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True-color#True_color …) 2) Nobody said there’s an advantage.

        @mathias @bundyo Sure, you CAN have a GIF with 32697 colours, but, as that page says: "true-color GIF should not be used."

      @mathias I first saw that last night but my brain still refuses to acknowledge it as truth (even if it's impractical).

      @mathias … but don't use more than 256 colors, because GIFs are big enough as it is!
