app icon colour different to desktop icon colour

i've added an icon to an app i've written. when a shortcut is added to
the desktop the icon colour is as expected. hwoever, when i run the
app, both the taskbar icon and the icon on the app lose colour.

if you need further details please ask.

i've searched for an answer on numerous occasions but cannot find
anything.

your help would be greatly appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the app is displaying the icon in
only 16 colors. Try re-rendering your icon for 16 colors,
then re-attach it to your app.
