Actually, "clear" in this case means "none" or "transparent". It clears 
the color assignment from the object entirely. When an object has no 
color specifically assigned to it, it inherits color from the next 
object up the hierarchy. If that one has no assignment, then the 
inheritance continues up the hierarchy until an object does have a color 
assigned or until the default is used. Somewhere in your stack or in 
Revolution itself there is a gray color that your object is inheriting. 
So, to avoid that, assign your own color -- in this case, white.
