Thanks, Thomas!  I didn't know about those. (The original 'net search I did was
for a 'generic' gamma 1.0 color-picker; I didn't see these two POV-Ray-specific
apps mentioned, unfortunately.)

I downloaded Sven's v2.0 Color-Picker, but it seems to be bug-ridden on my
Windows XP system. (Hard to tell, actually, because it has an unconventional
user interface; but its behavior seems odd.) And AFAIK, it doesn't have a
gamma-changing feature. Do you use this app successfully? Is there a newer
version?

If my memory serves me, I may have tried downloading Vanderburg's POVColor app
in the distant past; but couldn't even get it to run. (It was probably the
source code version or something.) But I just found the Windows executable
here...

Looks interesting on first glance, if a bit complex; but it *does* have a
gamma-changing feature. I haven't worked with it enough yet to know if that
feature works as I envisioned. I'll play around with it.
