I've implemented picking based on color coding, but I don't want the background color to be pickable. Is there any way in openGL (2.x) to exclude the background color? For some reason, doing glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) just before rendering in "color picking" mode, excludes the background in windows but not in Linux.

I'm using glut btw.

If you are rendering with one different single color for each pickable item, then just compare the color under the mouse against the background color.
