    Yes, you understood my question and I understand your desire for the
    wider color palette. However, sometimes it can be broadening to have
    boundaries to work against and it could be a selling point to say
    that the color is not artificially enhanced. by foiling. What you
    see is what you get sort of thing. Marilyn
