Hi, The 'light' colors defined in colo-imp-rgb.mkiv are not light! \definecolor [lightred] [r=1, g=0, b=0] \definecolor [lightgreen] [r=0, g=1, b=0] \definecolor [lightblue] [r=0, g=0, b=1] \definecolor [lightcyan] [r=0, g=1, b=1] \definecolor [lightmagenta] [r=1, g=0, b=1] \definecolor [lightyellow] [r=1, g=1, b=0] Is this intentional? How about replacing them with somewhat reasonable defaults? \definecolor [lightred] [r=1, g=0.5, b=0.5] \definecolor [lightgreen] [r=0.5, g=1, b=0.5] \definecolor [lightblue] [r=0.75, g=1, b=1] \definecolor [lightcyan] [r=0.5, g=1, b=1] \definecolor [lightmagenta] [r=1, g=0.5, b=1] \definecolor [lightyellow] [r=1, g=1, b=0.5] See attached output. These are not the ideal choices in terms of shades, but I have chosen values which are least subjective and still give reasonable shades. Aditya

See attached output. These are not the ideal choices in terms of shades, but I have chosen values which are least subjective and still give reasonable shades. your blue is kind of weird .. this is the metapostisch way:
\definecolor [lightred] [.5(red,white)] \definecolor [lightgreen] [.5(green,white)] \definecolor [lightblue] [.5(blue,white)] \definecolor [lightcyan] [.5(cyan,white)] \definecolor [lightmagenta] [.5(magenta,white)] \definecolor [lightyellow] [.5(yellow,white)] which i bet you prefer Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

which i bet you prefer
*I* clearly prefer the Metapostish way! :-) Alan

0.5(blue,white) does look like light blue to it, but it is better than 1.0(blue) :-)
this is the metapostisch way:
\definecolor [lightred] [.5(red,white)] \definecolor [lightgreen] [.5(green,white)] \definecolor [lightblue] [.5(blue,white)] \definecolor [lightcyan] [.5(cyan,white)] \definecolor [lightmagenta] [.5(magenta,white)] \definecolor [lightyellow] [.5(yellow,white)]

Much nicer. Thanks, Aditya
