But isn't that a *good* thing? I believe a colour should only change the hue of a stamp, not its brightness.

See for example: http://images.google.com/images?q=purple (But colour names vary greatly, and there are no established standards. Or, in fact, there are many colour name standards, and many of them have several variants of 'purple'.) The old colour was more 'red violet' (yes this is a term, even if red and violet are on opposite sides of the physical colour spectrum). -- Karl Ove Hufthammer _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
