There are two possible problem;  one could be your cables.  I'm not familiar
with the exact set you have, but I've heard that some people with homemade
cabless containing inverting buffers have had problems.

The other could be that you just need a special monitor description
for your monitor.  The easy to create one for the Diamondscan is to
make a copy of the productivity mode monitor, call it diamond, and
add the following tooltype:

BEAMCON0=0x1b88

Test the icon by adding it to the system by clicking on it;
then bring up the ScreenMode editor and select it, and see if
your colors are more like what you'd expect.
