Hi Gordon,

No luck after 20 minutes of deciphering options.

I thought maybe Style would override as in:-

Style[m1, {Bold, Black}]

But no luck.

Looks like the label style is linked to the sector.

The only positive suggestion is to use a different color function that  
gives the soft colours you desire.

Cheers ... Syd
