Linda,
before I forget,  and if it matters to you,  please note
that you only have 5 sticky tabs.  You omit the one
between TOP and RIGHT (I think).  Your net layout is
the fifth (origin 1) in the wiki cube page.  (This is still
the case with your latest posting,  which arrived while
I was writing this.)

Anyway, as for the discussion on the range of "ALL",
doesn't this depend on the definition of viewmat.   In
http://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help602/user/script_viewmat.htm#viewmat
the optional left argument is named "hue", and we are
told that hue may be one of:
   a 3-col table of RGB triples,
   or a list of RGB values,
   or 'rgb'
but it assumes we know what it means in the first
two cases.

Some definitions of RGB triple(t)s found elsewhere have
white as 3#255,  so it's not clear what's going on here,
since your latest effort evidently succeeds with twice this value.
I tried halving your "ALL" value,  and the result was pretty sad,
while doubling the values in "colours" (triple in [0,255] in my
version results in abrupt step changes across the faces.

SO - what does viewmat mean by "hue"?

No help at all!

I can even explain it pretty well. For the full collors, turning on two
lights at a time, adds light so +s works.  However, to get the lighter hues
you have added extra light to both colors so adding can be too much and it
seems that the lesser of the pair stays in the acceptable range. Thus all
those numbers up to 510 are legitimate colors for a viewmat palette.  Does
that seem reasonable as an explanation to you?

Linda

Perhaps you could also experiment other formulae for color addition instead
of using +,  try >.  eg
