If you want to set it to 204 you must also select colorize in step seven. :) it looks nice im going to save it while I think of some ideas and look at more tuts.

If you change the layer properties in step 6 to "color dodge" instead of the other one it gives it a pretty cool effect.
Great tutorial!
