Hi Yannick,

What are you trying to color exactly?

The vennDiagram function in Limma does allow for the circles or the 
circles to be of different colors (circle.col and counts.col).

Gordon: There is a mistake in the documentation for counts.col as it is 
a copy from circle.col. It should say counts instead of circles. It's 
most likely my fault when I sent you the code for it a while ago.
