Tolerance Level: 32 of 96 maximum

You can completely remove a single color (look at the top image above for an example), outline an image by a color (move the mouse over the top image above for an example), or isolate a color from an image (click the top image above).   You can also remove a range of colors, outline an image by a range of colors, or isolate colors from an image (bottom image is an example).

Right clicking the "Replacing Color" color box will check the image and let you know if that color is actually in the image.

Tolerance is used to affect colors that are close to the selected color when you replace colors. Low tolerance values affect only colors similar to the selected color, while high tolerance values affect a much broader range of colors. The similarity to the selected color is determined by the value of the tolerance, with a value of 1 only affecting the selected color and a value of 96 (the maximum I've allowed) affecting from approximately a minimum of 866,000 to a maximum of 7,000,000 maximum colors relative to the selected color depending on the selected color itself. I may be wrong on the math for those, and for the method of "tolerance" (don't have a real good example to go off of, though), but I think I'm at least pretty close. It's pretty easy to see that at maximum tolerance, depending on the colors, most of the image will be affected (since the maximum amount of colors that can be managed are 16,000,000 or so, unless I'm mistaken).

To note (for this program): for a color to be caught within the tolerance, all three values, red, green, and blue, must be within the tolerance value (right of "Tolerance:") plus or minus the corresponding value of the selected color. Meaning, if the selected color is black (0, 0, 0) and the tolerance is 96 (the maximum), any color that has it's red, green, and blue values all fall between 0 and 95 will be converted.

For pure in the middle grey (127, 127, 127) with a tolerance of 96, the values have to fall between 32 and 222, which leaves only colors near the extremes (yellow, red, green, white, black, blue, etc.). Personal preference: Very high to maximum tolerance isn't recommended when the selected color has all three values fall between 90 and 150, since most colors would be affected.

For the next version, I may just make tolerance able to go all the way up to 256 (so if you selected pure white with a maximum tolerance, all colors would be affected), just for viability. But I'll really only do that if I can find something else to add or change.
