| I've noticed a similar problem. I don't know if it's the MUD or the server either, but it seems that occasionally colors are darker than they're supposed to be. It also seems to have to do with setting a color on the line before. I haven't done a complete diagnosis, which I'll do and post here, but I'm wondering if it's MUSHclient, since other people I've spoken to don't seem to have the same problem. The problem seemed to be fairly sporadic, and was hard to obtain with regularity.
Personally I've never really trusted the SMAUG color code sending... then again, it's from SMAUG 1.0 and it has probably been improved since then. :) |

| | I don't think its MUSHclient, I've heard other people having this problem who use various other clients. |

| | I suspect it is something to do with the optimization code at the server end. Somehow seeing the green first is making it think it doesn't need to send the bold code again the next time around. |

| | Alright, I found a way to fix it. If you get this problem, do this. Lets say you use &G and it displays the darker. Use &w&G and it will work fine. |

| | The problem you're having is because the Smaug 1.4a color parser is buggy as all hell. I spent months trying to wrestle it into submission and finally gave up and replaced it with the custom color code I have on my site. Ever since I did that, everything just works as expected. You may want to consider doing the same rather than relying on cheap fixes :P | | Top |

| Ah, a permanant fix. Just what I've been looking for. I'll look it over, thanks.
[EDIT] Would that be "Customizable ANSI Color v3.0 " ? |
