An updated extension: Colour Converter v1.1, in addition to the colour conversion features, has Colour Blend facilities. Now it's very easy to create a gradient, or mix two colours. An extra example has been created making use of this - you will need Overlay 1.5 and Sliderbar Object to load it.

It's customary of me to tell you, with each site redesign, whats changed and stuff like that, but I really can't be bothered. Go and find out for yourself ;) Lazy pilchards.
