I totally agree, but I guess this would not be a trivial task as the pen dialog is pretty embedded in tools' code structures... also, workflow-wise, if the user relies on "model pens" and "printing pens" penset table workflow it would be really difficult to map RGB fills used in 2D/S/E/Details etc views to printed penset. Well, at least it could lead to "unexpected" UX results.

It's easy to add new 'surfaces' as RGB and apply them (surfaces) as 'fills' - why not just short circuit pens and add an RGB radio to the fills dialogue? Currently I'm just needlessly polluting my surfaces with RGB variations to apply to fills to do a wee graphics project...

well, what I have learnt in my 10 year tenure at GS is what we see as users at UI level is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg... it means actually implementing the data structures that would hold this information with fills, adjusting Find&Select, Override Rules (e.g by fill pen) etc... don't get me wrong, I really see your point here. This task would require substantial resources and time that we would need to re-allocate from something other projects.

We can override a fill background with RGB colour in the Graphic Overrides, so we are part way there.
