[Therion] Blue-colored water

[Bill Gee]

Well, this is interesting1  I changed the line in thconfig to green as 
Bruce suggested.  The water areas come out as a rather light green, not 
a fully saturated color.  Changing it back to red {0 0 100] gives a sort 
of light black color.

Looking in the thbook, I see that color in this syntax is an RGB 
triplet.  I think the range for each triplet is 0 to 100.  Is that 
right?  I tried setting it to [0 0 200] but Therion tossed an error 
message about that.

Just for testing, I commented out another line in the layout section:

	color map-fg [100 86 66]

With that change I now get very light blue water and a white background.

It seems there is an interaction between the map-fg color and the area 
color.  I tried adjusting the the map-fg colors, assuming that lower 
numbers would be paler colors.  Nope!  Using [50 43 33] gave a dark 
brown background, and using [25 20 16] gave an almost black background.

I set the map-fg colors back to original, then changed the water area 
color to [0 0 10].  The result is almost black.
