Examples

Test <- function(col) {
  plot(1:7,
    col = COL[1:7], pch = 19, cex = 5,
    xlim = c(0, 8),
    ylim = c(0, 9)
  )
  BG(col)
  points(2:8, col = COL[1:7], pch = 19, cex = 5)
  text(2, 6, "Correct Color")
  text(6, 2, "Affected Color")
}

# Works well since black color almost fully transparent
Test(COL[5, 9])

# Works less well since transparency isn't as significant
Test(COL[5, 6])

# Pretty ugly due to overlay
Test(COL[5, 3])

# Basically useless due to heavy color gradient
Test(COL[4, 2])
