gif highway shield transparency issues

I'm assuming you must be looking at old documentation. To make a pixmap symbol transparent you must create

I've tried ffffff and #ffffff and fff and apparently the TRANSPARENT index cannot be letters because it won't let the mapfile process right when I try those.
