True white in old black and white photos
#2

On the original, the snow is greyish. If I select white from the palette and using a brush to color the snow, it remains grey. Is it possible to have true white?

Thank you

It is possible to have pixels with value (255,255,255) (or 1.0, 1.0, 1.0).  How there are displayed is a matter of color profile (if there is one and color management is enabled), graphics card and driver, and monitor. So do you see whiter things on the screen outside of the image display? Is the "white" in the palette really true white? Is the brush fully opaque?
