I also have tried to use different colors and can only get variation colors of red green and blue. I have tried changing the names red, green and blue to other colors but that does not seem to be what controls the color. I suspect it is controled by number so where would I go to get the different numbers for colors. I know by looking at the colors in MT4 I also can get numbers for colors, like a dark maroon is 77,6,20. Can I assume that is how colors are determined in this program? If I need to get the numbers for different colors must I figure it out from MT4 using properties or is there some webpage I can go to, to get the different numbers?

don't change the names, adjust the color values themselves.....

mladen or cja have posted the color layout somewhere years ago here on ff.....

you can rewrite my version to give more indivdual control to the red, green, blue , values......

depending on the increments, loops and control, you should be able to create an almost infinite color pattern.....h

If I can get my hands on the color value numbers with out looking them up inside MT4 it would save me a lot of time. I like your program and will be using it more in the future
