It will probably more flexible to not store all differents colors value in the same array. There are many colors standart (Rasmus told us about cmyk and spots b.e.) and maybe pantone and others stuffs like that. The array will grow too much. One array per colortype PEAR_Colors_RGB PEAR_Colors_CMYK,... ? We don't need to include all colors and maybe more modular. hth pa -- Pierre-Alain Joye Freelance Developpements et Services web/intranet pajoye@tuxfamily.org
