fade in ,colors washed out

Unity Engine
1

I am trying to do a fade in of my gui element so i did:

var newcolor : Color = Color(1,1,1,fade ) ; //fade varies from 0 to 1
guiElement.color = newcolor ;

But i don’t get the same color as the original when i reached a fade of 1.
The colors are more intense than the original. ( it does fade correctly though, it’s just that i get weird colors )

Any idea why ?
Thank you
Patricia.

GUI elements actually use .5 as the “full” value. This is to allow the possibility of brightening textures (quite useful, I might add).
