  You seem to think for some reason that I'm arguing just for the sake of
argument. That's not the case.

  I'm directly asking you: In the case of overlapping objects, which color
should be shown in the overlapping part?

  You have *not* answered this question in any way. The only thing you have
said is that showing the average of the objects is "wrong" and that this
"problem" should be fixed, without specifying exactly how it should be
fixed.

  Why is it so difficult to give a simple and straightforward answer to
a simple and straightforward question?
