For gradients between some colors the human eye can distinguish more shades
than current display technology (= true color color with 8 bits per color
component) can show.  However, POV-Ray can generate 16 bits per color
component PNG images, yet only very few programs support them, and as
hardware can't display the additional shades anyway, you will have to wait
until (if ever) such hardware is available, but then POV-Ray will already
support it!
