No, it is not.

First color is added automatically - it's your style default color.

So if you have two blacks, for example:
- First one is added automatically
- Second one is added by you

Remove your Black, and it will not be doubled.

Playing with the code is not recommended unless you really know what are you doing.

Looking at the code, the first color is subject to an IF statement: if (vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStyleVar('body_color'))

If that statement is TRUE will the first color be assigned to the Common > body_color StyleVar. If the statement is FALSE, it defaults to the first color you list--which is black by default.

On my live & test forums (both running 4.0.2), it always fails:

Here is what settings with or without 'Black' produces:

Or you have not defined body_color in your style at all?
In this case it's possible to have always first color doubled.

I'll change this in next version, even I thought all styles should have body_color defined.

That's pretty weird. I do have body_color defined in all my themes, but it seems to be an issue on my boards.

Just for a temporary fix, I took out the conditional. It displays the first color as clear but all the text shows up like it's supposed to.

Appreciate the help
