Generation II sprites background color

[Socob]

Now, I know this isn't really important since there is no visible difference anyway, but my question simply is: Is the "white" in Generation II sprites #ffffff or #f8f8f8? When I get my sprites it shows me #f8f8f8, but most, if not all sprites on the Archives have #ffffff. I'm a terrible perfectionist so if anyone knows the correct color, please tell me.

Just use plain white. The background around the Pokémon should be transparent, however. If it's not it looks bad.

But exactly which color is "plain white"? Is it the "completely white" white #ffffff or the ever so slightly darker #f8f8f8?
And of course, I'll make sure to have a transparent background. I just used "background color" in the topic title because the white in the sprites is the same white that's used as the background during battles in the games.

Yeah, I was just clarifying... we don't want another Mewtwo problem (could you fix that, by the way?).

Anyway, it appears the games themselves use #F8F8F8, and not #FFFFFF, for some odd reason. Personally, I'd say go with the #FFFFFF, since we're not including the white background. Whatever's easiest, really.

Mewtwo problem?
*looks up Mewtwo*
Oh wow, that's ingenious.
*a few minutes later*
Done.
And thanks for the confirmation on the games using #f8f8f8, that's all I really wanted to know
