You might want to check the underlying component type for possible default alpha values. Would definately effect how vibrant your colors are.
Consult something like http://digg.com/design/Flex_3_Style_Explorer_now_online or the docs http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html too make sure thats not the issue. I also find the Firefox add-on colorzilla (http://www.colorzilla) a good sanity check - it didn't used to work on Flash/Flesh objects until a few upgrades back. Button which is a class that underlies many components has alpha values that are inherited down the food chain.
