Ross,
Using a different approach, would using the color with an adjusted intensity be helpful? Something along the lines of,
twoway function x, lc(blue) || ///
function .5*x, lc(blue*.5) || ///
function 2*x, lc(blue*2)
cheers, Tom

Subject: st: RGB values of standard Stata colours
Dear Stata users
Does anyone know where the RGB values for the standard _colorstyle_ colours
may be found?
I am trying to write a graph command that takes a user-specified standard
colour, with the output requiring slightly lighter/darker shades of this
colour. For example, so I can do this:
if "`color'" == "red"{
local light = "255 50 50"
local dark = "205 0 0"
}
I know how to do red of course, but what about forest_green, cranberry,
eggshell...?
Better still, is there a function to get the values directly?
Best wishes,
Ross
