Thanks, that is the idea I was trying to get at. Now I just need something probably more like 75% saturation at this moment, looking for a light background for behind some thin black text. I'm going to see if I can get my programmer brain around the graphic concepts and see if I can implement your trick in Macromedia Fireworks, the only graphic tool I have access to other then the Windows' accessory "Paint".
