Well, found something odd but do not fully understand what I doing 
.
In the UTFT.cpp:
LCD_Write_COM(0xF0); //pixel data interface
LCD_Write_DATA(0x03);
In the SSD1963 doc:
"9.74 set_pixel_data_interface
Command 0xF0
Parameters 1
D/C D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Hex
Command 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 F0
Parameter1 1 0 0 0 0 A2 A1 A0 xx
Description
Set the pixel data format to 8-bit / 9-bit / 12-bit / 16-bit / 16-bit(565) / 18-bit / 24-bit in the parallel host processor
interface. This command is used for display data only, the command format is always 8 bit.
A[2:0] : Pixel Data Interface Format (POR = 101)
000 8-bit
001 12-bit
010 16-bit packed
011 16-bit (565 format)
100 18-bit
101 24-bit
110 9-bit
Others Reserved

MCU."
So I tried .._DATA(0x02) this ,I think, should equate to 16 bit packed. Blue shows up but with an odd shadow and green disappears.So it does not appear that is the issue.
Oh, how I wish I could view whats in this file- http://m2.img.dxcdn.com/CDDriver/153336.docx
