Has This Ever Happened To U?

has this ever happened to U?

sometimes when ur working on a drawing in mspaint, it will start to inexplicably consider a colour u have used as a new, separate colour, even though its exactly the same. i don't know exactly what will cause it, but i figure it might have to do w/ transparency. it never happens right out the gate, typically happens if i've been working on a drawing for a while.

its worth noting any colour can be added to the third palette row again even if it already exists in the default palette so that alone isn't an indicator that this is ur issue. if you use custom colours a lot, double check their values too.

anyways, its anoying ... as f*ck. thankfully the solution is rlly simple.

select your entire canvas, cut the drawing and re-paste it back in. this should get rid of the problem for every colour on ur pic. saves a lot of wasted time fixing each individual area.

this will work regardless of what colours u have selected as col1 and col2. it will also work regardless of whether you have transparency on or off.
