... Of the magicmask on the color page.

All in the title.

I use the highlight option since magicmask was introduced; at first, I didn't even look for an overlay toggle.

I never thought too much about this workflow until now. Having to use a magic mask on 30+ clips, isolating a person with dark hair, dark furniture behind, and a parquet floor just a bit darker than the skin, pushed me to the edge. - I generally 

Even if they just add a second color, like bright green, and the ability to change the opacity of the overlay, that would be enough. But I think being able to select the color is better, so it can be tweaked for every rare situation.
