My guess would be that your graphics are actually being converted to
truecolor format while you load them in, and not when you come to
display them at all. Check your set_color_conversion() settings.

They all do the same thing, but I'd use the last one because it is 
less typing, unless you are coding in C++ in which case you have to
use the middle one.
