Whenever I add 24x24 or 16x16 bitmaps (.bmp files) to command buttons the images always get distorted and lose their colors. What is an ideal file size and format for command buttons? Ideally, I'd like there to be no image distortion or loss of color when using images on top of command buttons.

Images on buttons are usually used on toolbars where the buttons are square and
so match the image size without distortion.

Assuming(?) you're talking about MSForms type CommandButtons (on a sheet or
userform) normally there shouldn't be any distortion or loss of colours as
you describe, and no special requirement for size. Can you upload a testfile
and separately a source image.

Yes, my images are square and they fit on buttons, but the colors often come out wrong even when I choose 16-color bitmaps. I was just wondering if there was an ideal file format for button images?

Yes, I'm using images on Command Button forms. I've tried 16-color and 256-color bitmap (.bmp) files, but they all had some distortion and color loss. I wonder if it's related to the file type and bitmap size? I don't have the actual bitmaps right now, but I'll try to create a few samples and post them soon.
