No. And I think it looks fine even with these very different shades of blue: http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/gallery/billkendrick/20041212203112.png > How did you come up with that anyway?

I believe I've said this before, but am only happy to repeat it: This does not mean that this colour is a good colour to include as a light blue colour for use in a childrens drawing program. And of course using a different set of images you would get a different 'sky blue' colour. Just look at all the different colours of the sky behind the real Golden Gate: http://images.google.com/images?q=golden%20gate (Compare with Bill's image with your 'sky blue': http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/gallery/billkendrick/20050112020557.png) What do other people on this list think? I've put up two images for comparison: Albert's sky blue: http://www.huftis.org/kritikk/tuxpaint-skyblue.png 'My' light blue: http://www.huftis.org/kritikk/tuxpaint-lightblue.png I just used the bucket fill, so the edges might not look as good for the light blue (and the cloud is redrawn). And I'm not *entirely* happy with the colour. Some minor tweaking might be useful. Anyway, if people insist on using the name (and colour) 'sky blue', we might as well use an colour as close to a 'sky blue' colour from a *standard* colour collection. At "http://www.colorcharts.org/"; you can search on colour names (for approx. RGB values). For 'sky blue', I think YY19-Y76L-1QH1 ('Sky Blue') and XX1B-BPTQ-FFPW ('Sky Blue 1') look rather nice. >>> 4. washed out dark blue >> >> I've made it darker. Better?

Stamp tinting, for instance. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
