> Generally, IM will force a grayscale format if the data is grayscale and if the image type supports that.
Oh, I understood. It's a very important point that I miffed.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your very fast reply, fmw42.
I got exactly what I need following your direction.
Still I'm not sure what I was wrong, but anyway I gonna read more docs as you indicated.
Thank you.

Version: ImageMagick 6.9.2-4 Q16 x86 2015-10 ...

I would like to make simple text label in RGB (or RGBA) .png file.
What I did is:

convert -font Tahoma -pointsize 240 -undercolor black -fill whilte \
label:ABC -colorspace RGB -depth 8 out.png

It works just fine, but got the result in grayscale format.
I tried moving '-colorspace' position ...
