Hokay, here tiz:

The document !2309story has a tint-green frame at the top. Copy it
to somewhere else on the page. The copy is grey instead of green.
Select the original frame, do Ctrl-F10 for the Alter Frame dialogue,
go to View and click on background colour. You'll see it's a tint of
ColourA (a named colour, a particular green).
Without closing the dialogue, click on the grey frame. (Curious and
just maybe relevant to get a non-fatal "branch through zero" error --
I don't recall this happening in Publisher 5.13. It's always been a
welcome trait in Impression that you can leave a dialogue open to deal
with successive frames.) For the grey frame note that the field that
previously said ColourA as the base colour is now blank.
The document pagefurniture contains the Impression graphic saying
"Files -- see page 2". Its background is magenta, an Artworks
graduated tint. Export it (via OLE) to Artworks, and there it's green
as intended. Copy it to an Impression document, save, and then open
it in Publisher 5.13 -- result is the intended green.
(By the way, this "Files --see page 2" graphic is in an Impression
frame cunningly grouped with an underlying frame. The hidden frame
contains a bit of text in a Style that will turn up when I generate
the table of contents. This reminds me to post files on the Archive
website to go with this article.)
