Thank you to everyone that replied both on list and off list.  I now have my
line art in the colour I need for the web site.  :)

A special thanks to Peter for fixing that border image and to Andy for his
very thorough instructions and to Richard for yet another way to do this
.... awesome!!

Greatly appreciated.
