Sorry, I was a little too enthusiastic, here here is the code :

>> In the MWE below I define an rgb colour, myColor1, using random numbers for the r, g and b components. I then use it to fill a unitsquare the size of the page, which works as expected. In the loop that follows I then use the defined colour, myColor1, along with white and the variable r to create shades of myColor1 as in the MWE below. However, myColor1 is not recognised in the loop and seems to be replaced by black, although if I use a predefined colour, in this case BurntSienna from the crayola collection, it works as expected. I have tried a number of ways to get this to work as shown in the code but without success. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

I forgot to remove « myColor1 » from the others parts of the code.
