Hi :) I'm glad to hear we have a wider range of colours than i thought. I'd really like to see a colour-wheel and hex input but the thing i miss most is a pipette to grab colour from anywhere on the screen. Gimp has one and i miss it in Draw. I've always assumed it was just waiting for someone to post a bug-report about. Regards from Tom :)
