 Thanks, Graham.  Seems a bit strange to need 
EncodeColor() when the color variable is specified in Plot().  Is this the 
way previous versions worked? 
  
In any case, when I put your fix into a slightly 
different formula instead of getting only the two colors specified in IIF() 
a whole range of colors appears, depending on the selected bar.  Below are 
two screen shots showing two different unspecified colors for the "MA 
Difference" name for two different bars.  The plot of maDiff (red and 
bright green dots) displays the right colors.  However, the color of the 
name changes through about 8 different colors depending on the bar 
selected.  The screen shots below show the result for two different 
bars.  Also, note that a number (color number?) appears in front of 
the name for some colors but not others (aqua has number but not 
red).  I have never seen a color number displayed before.  
The code below is based on the previous one and produces this 
effect.  
  
Any idea what is going on and how to get around 
this?  It seems to me unless there is a setting that affects this 
behavior, this might be one for support. 
  
--------------------------------------------- 
  
maDiff =  MA(C, 
50) - MA(C, 200);
colorMaDiff =  IIf(maDiff <= 0, 
colorRed, colorBrightGreen);
Plot (maDiff, EncodeColor(SelectedValue(maDiff)) + " MA Difference", 
colorMaDiff, styleOwnScale|styleDots);
Plot ( C, "", colorWhite, 
styleBar);

  this will change the name of the plot in title, but not the value 
    
  Plot (diffMa, EncodeColor(SelectedValue(colorDiffMa))+"diffMa", colorDiffMa, styleLine);

    I am using version 4.74.6 and have run across 
    something that I have not seen before and that I assume is not a 
    bug. 
      
    Using the simple code below, the plot correctly 
    displays the right color depending on the value of the variable 
    diffMa.  However, the name in Plot() is a constant color (lime) instead 
    of the color of the plot which is defined in IIF().  (see attached 
    screen shot).  If IIF() is replaced by a color ( e.g, colorRed), the 
    name correctly assumes this color.  The problem occurs only when IIF() 
    is used.  Lime is the up color for candlesticks, but changing this 
    color does not change the color of name on the chart.  
      
    Are there new settings for controlling the color 
    of name?  Any ideas?

    MA1 =  MA(C, 200); 
    MA2 =  MA(C, 50); 
    diffMa = MA1 - MA2; 
    colorDiffMa =  IIf(diffMa <= 0, colorRed, colorWhite); 
    Plot (diffMa, "diffMa", colorDiffMa, styleLine);
