Well, violet has several meanings in English. See f.i.: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=violet One of the definitions is: any of a group of colors, reddish-blue in hue, that may vary in lightness and saturation. Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color) Lavender is usually paler (and lighter). But I guess it's a *good enough* approximation, and I have changed the name to 'Lavender'. (It's not that colour names are consistenly used, anyway!) > 5. a darker red, more like the stop signs I didn't change the red. But we could add an extra, dark red (if we remove the 'Colours' label). > Not good: > > 1. washed out yellow > > 2. non-pumpkin orange I've reverted these. > 3. baby blue in place of sky blue I really think this blue is much more usuable than the old one, especially for drawing cartoon skys. > 4. washed out dark blue I've made it darker. Better? The old one was *too* dark to be usuable. > It might be wise to investigate normal color printer gamuts. > For a typical printer, the RGB secondaries (cyan,magenta,yellow) > should be no problem.

The red is as red it can be (RGB: 255, 0, 0) and prints wonderfully even on older colour printers.

Sounds nice, but where would you put it? I really don't think the colour pickers should be made any smaller? But we could always add an extra row in higher resolutions. One more thing: The 'beige' is not really beige; it's not even close. Suggestions on what we could call it? -- Regards, Karl Ove Hufthammer _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
