Chuck, that worked perfectly, thank you. O.K., now suppose someone was really nitpicky to the point of being anal, and wanted a color other than that provided via panelsurround

Would I be able to create add an additional CSS definition in my
vb style, say:
.nitpicky { color: #FFEDD2; }
Which I could then pop into my showproduct template in place of panelsurround?
This would allow me to do what I want, complete control over the color in my showproduct template.
