Chris, I don't have the necessary inside knowledge of how OOo (OpenOffice.org) handles color, but I don't believe this list is the best place for such a technical question. I would suggest you post this to the developers list at [email protected] where your request is more likely to be seen by someone who knows the inner workings of OOo. If you do post to the developers list, let them know you are not subscribed and ask to be cc'd with any reply. Hope you get the answer you are looking for.
