As many of u know I'm the developer of of Toon Titan a pretty popular cel shading, ink & paint, and color management plugin for Flash. Its sort of become an industry standard for anyone working with Flash. Anyhee, I finally had some time to sit down and do a little more work on the next release (version 5)... until i started thinking back about all those posts about CTA's inability to let you work with color in a reasonable manor. It's pretty nutty that you can't just mix colors and go. Instead you have to tweak around brightness, contrast, hue, at random until you hopefully land on a color that more or less could be the one that looks closest to what you want.

I did post a fairly decent workaround to this problem, which involves the creation of a prop item outside of CTA, using something like flash or drawplus... but again as decent as a workaround goes, its still relies on people having those more expensive tools.

Anyhee, so i got sidetracked again and started tinkering with a new app, inspired by Toon Titan, which allows you to mix the exact colors you want. Its more of a proof of concept, I'm not sure if I'm gonna finish it, but I wanted to show what I have. It certainly does the trick though.
