Read everything I posted. -- judryska "color-coordinate" {x1 is the color specified by position tuple x2 in color space/system x3 (default: RGB)} -- x3 is exactly what you're asking for. Yes, RGB is borked, but I believe it still makes an acceptable default, as most people are familiar with it, and do not need the kind of precision required. It looks like my above lujvo is more or less acceptable, so I'll stick up names and examples of some other color systems, so that people can convinently use whichever they'd like. - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
