Hi Rolf,
If the fire pattern had appeared on a black door what colour would the flame look like? That is the relavent question for that part. My opinion that the answer is it would have a red flame. Do you think it would have black flame or red?
If the flag piece had appeared in blue would the white patches have remained white? My opinion is no, as is yours.
For most patterns the part we code as 16 could take any value depending on what it is placed on. Here the current standard applies and is right. For a small minority of patterns (eg. the flame quite clearly and gauge arguably) it seems much more likely that the colour would have been hardcoded had the pattern appeared on a different background colour.
