    You are probably placing an icon of 256 colors in to 16 color icon. If so you have to add a new icon of 256 colors. It is available in menu, Image > New Device Image.

            I undestand what you mean, but in this way i only import an Icon under Icon folder. I want this icon to the toolbar but if i copy to the toolbar it will change in 16 colours. or i do something wrong?

                I am not sure about how to directly use it... But you can show higher color resolution icons in the toolbar by using an imagelist. Sorry, I dont have a code sample to show you.

                    You can add icons directly to imagelist
