Thank you both for your help… I dunno why I find it hard to comprehend the container… I am close but some how its confusing. I will persevere because it seems like a concept that will help me in the future.
But the Int List is pretty straight forward and has the methods i am looking for so I will probably go with that for the purpose of completing my current project.
thanks you both so much!
Monkstone your right about color being a brainmangler I am actually using HSB just to keep it simpler to cycle colors. Works but has its own issues too.
