I noticed recently that matplotlib.colors limits RGB values to a range (0 - 1), while in scikit image, RGB values can be much larger. For example:

test = np.zeros( (500,500,3) )

test[:,:,0]=50

test[:,:,1]=19

test[:,:,2]=25

imshow(test);

Produces a teal background. I was curious how the color teal is derived from this? I tried normalizing to 255 and and 50 but neither seemed to produce the same teal color.

Thanks.
