use rgb values

rgb(redvalue,greenvalue,bluevalue)

255 is the max and 0 the minimum

if you do this:
BACKDROP ON
COLOR BACKDROP rgb(255,0,0)

the backdrop will be red.. but when you do this:
BACKDROP ON
COLOR BACKDROP rgb(0,0,255)
it will be blue.. and so:

BACKDROP ON
COLOR BACKDROP rgb(255,255,255)
white ..

hope that helped

all that rgb does is calculate the correct value for the color, you can print out the rgb like this

set text font "cooper"
set text size 40
do
red=rnd(255)
blue=rnd(255)
green=rnd(255)
colorvalue=rgb(red,green,blue)
ink rgb(red,blue,green),0
print "with the following red/blue/green values"
print "red :";red
print "blue :";blue
print "green :";green
print "the colour looks like this"
print "and you get the value"
print colorvalue
print "from the rgb function"
print
wait key
cls
loop

hope thats some help.

I was playing a video game with my friend and we were painting our mechs and the game used rgb color and he was just dumbfounded. He says, "wtf is this crap?" I replied, "It's red green and blue. You know, like television pixels." He says, "How do you get yellow?" I said, "Red and green is yellow." He says, "I thought red and green is brown." I said, "Says who?" He answers, "Says ROYGBIV!" I laughed and said, "What are you in fourth grade art class? Nobody uses ROYGBIV anymore. This is the new millenium. Get with the times, man!"

Only functions that return a value need brackets.
So it's either

COLOR BACKDROP 255,255,255

or

COLOR BACKDROP RGB(255,255,255)

it's cool to hate
