           Summary: MonoTouch.UIKit.UIColor.FromRGB(byte, byte, byte)
                    doesn't give you the colors you would expect.
    Classification: Mono
           Product: MonoTouch
           Version: SVN

There are no gradients of colors.  It just gives you one solid color (yellow,
red, blue, etc) white, or black.  If you use the overloaded method passing in
float values you can get all the shades of colors you would expect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.MonoTouch.UIKit.UIColor.FromRGB((byte)255,(byte)100, (byte)100) - should be
light red but it's dark red
2.MonoTouch.UIKit.UIColor.FromRGB((byte)255,(byte)255, (byte), 204) - should be
light yellow but it's dark yellow
3.
Actual Results:  
I got the incorrect colors on the screen.

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed varying shades of the colors.

The workaround is to use the overloaded method FromRGB that expects float
values.  It seems to be working properly.
