When I was trying to draw white letters on a black background I noticed something weird.

public void paint(Graphics g) {
    super.paint(g);
    g.setColor(new Color(255,255,255));
    g.drawString("Hello World",100,100);
}

Gave me this:

Lines, however, were being drawn well.

When I took a different, but very close, color (254, 255, 255), I got this

Why is java.awt.Graphics blocking pure white (255,255,255) letters from being drawn (even when it is on a black background) ?
