I can't see any other way to do it.
It seems you want colours that know what they're being painted on top of,
that is a more sophisticated rendering model than OP and traditional
systems support.

Thanks, David. Having got myself a bit more organised with master pages
set up appropriately, the above isn't actually too much of a pain. It is as
you
might imagine a fairly rare requirement so I'm quite happy to continue in
that
way.
Thanks & regards
