Sounds like a palette problem.  You need to set the colours that
you will be using.  With many pictures (especially bitmap PICTS),
it is easier to set up the whole palette at once.  Often the palette
is saved as a resource along with the PICT.  If not, game over.
(unless you are using a 32 bit pict, then you can regen. the CLUT
from the pict)
