Hmmm, I'd appreciate a warning there. Something on the order of
'Warning, colour missing. Using  default'  something that gives a
clue as to what's wrong.

For a program to assume a value and carry on without informing the

Thanks for pointing out what's wrong. Now if I cn fix my hard drive
I'll finish that picture.
