I made a simple GDI based back buffer but for some reason, everything I do on it comes out black and white. Can you guys help me? Here's the code: http://rafb.net/p/p190og92.html

Help with GDI back buffering

To start:
Do not call InvalidateRect() from WM_PAINT. Ever. InvalidateRect() will cause WM_PAINT to be placed in your message queue again, resulting in an endless loop of probably useless paints.
Do not use GetDC()/ReleaseDC() in WM_PAINT to acquire the DC you are drawing to. These will not clear the dirty rect for the DC. Use BeginPaint() and EndPaint().
