Hi Phil,

I'm NOT a color expert, but can't you just add the RGB values and divide by 2 to
come up with the RGB numbers to use for the overlap? It seems too easy, but? If
that works, then it would seem to work for a multiple overlap too; just find the
average?

Hope I didn't expose my ignorance too much; but, if it weren't for a List like
this, that would be the first thing I would try.
