- Black is "normal"
- White is "erase" ( note : Checker pattern representing alpha too )
- dark blue is color-smudge smearing mode ( note : little gradient in the stroke to a warmer color can helps )
- purple is color-smudge dulling mode ( note : little gradient in the stroke to a warmer color can helps )
