Modelling patterns that depend on the underlying part colour

[Tim Gould]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for raising this here.

I think that a caveat could be added along the lines of:

Under exceptional circumstances a background colour may be hardcoded as a fixed colour, either in an original submission or resubmission, if the intended colour seems clear to the author. A note should be added with the submission stating that this has been done and the reason for the hardcoding. In the event that any reviewer places a 'hold' for this decision the part should revert to the usual standard for reviewing.

This way the original author has a chance to make a judgement, and if it is agreed upon universally by the reviewers it will go in and common sense prevails. But if a situation is ambiguous enough for one person to 'hold' then it reverts to the unambiguous standard.

I actually agree with both Magnus and Steffen for the examples.
