The demo example creates a black and white mosaic. This is because color takes ~3X as long. To create a color mosaic, download the [color image set](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_2ApIVBv Xm1ckhjX3RibVVPdkk/edit?usp=sharing) (COMING SOON), and set Fractal Mosaics to color mode (see the [Variables](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/wiki/Variables) page for info on this).
