Bullseye! When I take the ps file generated in linux, and convert it to
a pdf in windows, then the resulting pdf looks as I expect it should.

So, the difference is between ps2pdf as in "ghostscript" and
"ghostscript-afpl". So what is the cause of this? Is there anyway to
get the pdf output the same?

I am trying to create a theme that matches the colors of my school.
Since the theme is meant to be viewed primarily onscreen, it is
important that the colors in the pdf actually match the school colors.

Asking people to install ghoscript-afpl is not an option for me, as I
can't force people to do that. Is my only option to create one
theme---using the "standard" color values---that will look good when
converted with ghostscript-afpl, and then another theme---using hacked
color values---that will look good when converted with ghostscript?
