I had a look at your code and it looks like the problem is your limit() function, which is returning a 16-bit integer when it should return an unsigned 8-bit byte. You also had semicolons immediatly after your if statments:

int limit(int value)
{
if(value >255);
  value =255;
if(value <0);
  value =0;  <== because of the added semicolon above, this statement will always execute and will always set the return value to zero.
return value;
}

Your code should probably look like this:

unsigned char limit(int value)
{
if(value >255);
value =255;
else if(value <0);
value =0;
return (unsigned char)value;
}
