Brandon,
Here's an entry from the Java 3D FAQ:
> 4. Why does everything look black and white when I run the
> examples?
>
> A bug in JDK1.2 beta 3 is causing this to occur on 8-bit
> devices. This should be fixed in JDK 1.2 beta 4 when it is
> released.
The FAQ is at:
http://tintoy.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~srp/java3d/faq.html
If this is the right explanation (i.e., you are using an
8-bit display) hopefully you have another display to work
with. Good luck.
Bill
