COPY/// merge_color_squared(col1,col2,amount)
//
//  Returns a color merged from two colors by a given amount,
//  where color components are squared for a more natural mix.
//  An amount value of 0 returns the first color (col1), a 
//  value of 1 returns the second color (col2), and values 
//  in-between return a mix of the two colors. 
//
//      col1        first color
//      col2        second color
//      amount      blend factor [0,1]
