I don't really agree - I find it too dark. Perhaps your monitor is set
up differently? Anyway, in the interests of democracy your preference
is now on display.

[btw, the table of purples works like this: row 1 column 1 is 100% red
100% blue; for every step to the right, subtract 12.5% of both red and
blue; for every step down, subtract an additional 6.25% red.]

By all means come and see my bathroom sometime :-) I had it renovated
several months back in purple, white and blue. Looks great. Dad said
it reminded him of the Scottish highlands with all the purple heather.
