Gif image shows only in black and white

Question

Hello...
I'm trying to convert normal image to PlanarImage but the PlanarImage will show only black & white image in the applet. My guess is that it has something to do with bands but I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
Here is the code what I'm trying to use in applet's init method
public void init(){
     Image my_gif;
     URL base;
     MediaTracker mt;
     mt = new MediaTracker(this);
     try {       
          base = getCodeBase();
     catch (Exception e) {}
     my_gif = getImage(base,"image.gif");
     mt.addImage(my_gif,1);
     try {
     mt.waitForAll();
     catch (InterruptedException e) {}
     int imageHeight = my_gif.getHeight(this);
     int imageWidth = my_gif.getWidth(this);
     int numBands = 3;
     int len = imageHeight * imageWidth * numBands;
     byte[] imageData = null;
     PixelGrabber pixeli = new PixelGrabber(my_gif, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight,false);
     SeekableStream ss = null;
     try {             
          pixeli.grabPixels();
          imageData = (byte[])pixeli.getPixels();
     } catch (InterruptedException e2) {
          e2.printStackTrace();
     ColorModel cm = pixeli.getColorModel();
     SampleModel sm = cm.createCompatibleSampleModel(imageWidth,imageHeight);
     TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(new Point(),sm,imageWidth,imageHeight);
     DataBufferByte dbb = new DataBufferByte(imageData,len);
     Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sm,dbb,new Point());
     tiledImage.setData(raster);
     PlanarImage image = (PlanarImage)tiledImage;
