What do you mean by this?
When you have an opaque bar of a solid color ("pygame.draw.rect(surface, (255,0,0), (rect), 1)") then it looks red. If you put it over a black background, the pixels look darker. If I compensate by making all the pixels there somewhat lighter, lighter colored objects, such as asteroids will look wrong. Anyway, after I looked at the somewhat darker rectangle for a while, it began looking right. It was just a change from the (255,0,0) bar to something like (150,0,0), which is how it
should be.
The color you're using is a brighter color, so if you're alpha blending
it then it'll make everything you're blending that's darker than it
brighter.

Do you mean a brighter background?
