How to get transparent colors to sum to complete opacity?

-----Original Message-----
Superposing a finite set of semi-transparent dots will never 
give an opaque one (and that is true of physical dots too).

Indeed not; this is an ideal case of the Beer-Lambert law.

Nice to know that basic chemistry has applications in computational graphics ...
