Color Level

The color level used in VNC viewer sessions. If the session is running over a small bandwidth connection, the value can be configured to reduce the needed bandwidth.
Possible values:

  • Default: The highest available color level is used. The VNC viewer automatically selects the level based on the speed of the connection. (Default)

  • Very Low (8 colors): The VNC viewer is forced to use the color level regardless of the speed of the connection.

  • Low (64 colors): The VNC viewer is forced to use the color level regardless of the speed of the connection.

  • Medium (256 colors): The VNC viewer is forced to use the color level regardless of the speed of the connection.
