Are you sure? I haven't made any changes to Hunspell, nor to my locale 
(unless I've missed something), and I've just been back and checked to make 
sure. And it still objects to "colour" below. So I think, if it is Hunspell, 
it's being called wrongly.

The Oxford dictionaries and punctuation standards have long been 
controversial. In fact "the Oxford comma" is notorious (and apparently /de

So it can, under Appearance - thanks Eric. I've set Unread to be the same 
colour as Important. Odd that I've not had to do this before.
