BUG REPORT: Improper display of the same color between different objects

New comment
 

Video demonstration: https://i.imgur.com/ee1JSo8.gif

Issue: the color C'34,34,34' (and similar dark colors within that range) display differently on OBJ_BUTTON compared to other object types.

In the video, the OBJ_EDIT is also using C'34,34,34' as the background color that the OBJ_BUTTON uses in the on state. However, they don't look the same.

I left a note in the code below stating that, if you comment out the line that changes the color in the off state, the color displays properly, but not in the correct state.

Code below to test for yourself.
