High Marcus, I agree that comparing a color to a string was not a good idea. That can go as 1.9.0 is still pre-alpha. For backwards compatibility comparison with a tuple will remain valid in Pygame 1.9.
Absolutely - one of the main issues was (and is) the compatibility with the previous tuple implementation for colors. Thus it's necessary that we retain it. Regards Marcus
