Ok, I looked at your code, and it turns out KColor is doing exactly what 
you *asked* it to do, namely tinker with the saturation... so that's 
what it did. Using the default value for the third parameter I can't 
tell the difference :P.

Not that I disagree with your comments, but it was sure nice of you to 
test KColor::blend while you were at it...

10000 fprintf's took =  2022
10000 blendColor's took =  671
10000 KColor::blend's took =  12
