  But how do I do this within draw()

  ?

  your code would look like:

  void setup() {
    size(200,200);
    smooth();
  }
  
  void draw() {
    background(255);
    noStroke();
  
    // Bright red
    fill(255,0,0);
    ellipse(20,20,16,16);
  
    // Dark red
    fill(127,0,0);
    ellipse(40,20,16,16);
  
    // Pink (pale red)
    fill(255,200,200);
    ellipse(60,20,16,16);
  }

  Thanks for that, I can’t reproduce my error but the message was :-

  It looks like you’re mixing “active” and “static” modes.

  I wanted to get more than one colour of text in the draw command and only one colour would show.

  If possible could you explain “active” and “static” modes. I ended up writing a simple sketch without the setup & draw functions saving the output as a jpg file and loading that in to the game.

  static is without setup() and draw(). active is with setup() and draw(). static can only produce a static image since there’s no flow over time (setup() just once, draw() looping over and over)
