The first vertical bar must remain black but all other 'color' cells may be any RGB setting. The
'contrast' cells must be a shade of gray ranging from black [00] for least opaque (hides the
highlight color from showing through on the menu) to >1% gray [15] for the highest degree of
opacity (reveals the highlight color overlaying the button activation color) in DVD Menu Maker.
Example with colors with borders and descriptions for the 4-color limit set by the DVD Forum:

Note: Avoid using too many highlight colors on a single menu as this can cause confusion
