To test you background drawing method when you were first constructing it, we suggested you add a line to the "begin" method to invoke your drawing method with parameters "200,0,200". This make a nice shade of purple, but this does not correspond correctly with the initial positions of the scrollboxes with the scrollbars you created. So, replace the "200,0,200" by "255,255,255" to make your applet start with a white background. Also, now that you are finished you should change the name of the folder containing your work from "ColorMixerStarter" to just "ColorMixer".
