As mentioned by another reader, SuperPaint is really a monochrome program. You
can get a colour *preview* of your document (in version 2.0, anyway), but you
must revert to mono to edit it.  Chapter 17 of the manual Pp 4-249 to 4-256 has
a full treatment of SuperPaint's colour capabilities.

Tip: if you want different parts of a bitmap (i.e. Paint) doc to be different
colours, lasso them, cut to draw, then change the colour of the object in the
draw layer.
