I think the other issues are addressed, if not please remind me what 
isn't :-). Which leaves this... I'm still trying to understand what 
you're doing here. I noticed that your new algorithm now looks a lot 
like the current tint(), in fact with some minor nitpicks it looks like 
maybe we can agree on what tint() should be doing after all.

So... I'm still trying to figure out what you're doing that's different. 
Sorry for being dense, but can you give a more detailed description?
