Good work!

The 1 should have been promoted to <1, 1, 1, 1, 1>.  This would be
consistent with previous behavior and with other contexts where a scalar
appears in the same expression as a color or vector.

Logic can give you wrong answers if a premise (in this case, the
promotion of the scalar) is wrong.

P.S. Not that it makes a difference here, but colors.inc defines `White`
as `rgb 1`, which means it does not need promotion.  It already has the
value <1, 1, 1, 0, 0>.
