Blue is black?

Whenever I try to color the background black it turns to a slight blue when I get out of it. I have one sprite that has all black and another similar one that's the same blue color as the background. I don't know why that one is black and the other one is blue. I've seen this before and don't know what causes it. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Re: Blue is black?

I've had this problem, too. I think it's just because colors aren't perfect.

Try recoloring it black.

I am, but it turns blue when I save it.

I don't think there's any fix to the problem. I have it myself.

I don't know of a fix, but a workaround is to use a sprite to serve as the background instead of just coloring the background stages.  smile

Re: Blue is black?

If you edit it in an external paint program and then import, you can make it almost black, but Scratch still adds 1/256 part blue for some reason. But that's better than the 1/32 blue you get using the built in graphic editor.

You mean Squeak? There are some rounding errors in coloring imported images.

Maybe it's your computer monitor.

It's not, it happens to everyone. It's quite annoying.

Hmm. Maybe it's my computer monitor because I don't really notice this.

Probably, you actually need a really good monitor and/or eyes to see it. It's very dark blue. This color █████ in fact. I can just barely make out the difference if I paste it on a pure black background.

Re: Blue is black?

Just use a very dark shade of grey. I hate this problem too.
