Black is pretty useful for drawing the "ink" lines in characters to give them more depth but then when I draw_sprite, it puts the background color instead. I looked for something in the palette information but I couldnt find anything on it. I also tried using a dark blue and it worked but gave the characters a blue tint to them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -Will
