I'm not seeing that. Can you say which version of ImageMagick you're using, and the exact color string you are seeing the problem with, and upload the 'corrupted' image.

For the exact 'color string', please can you give me the precise values you are using for $color, width and height on the line: ``` $imagick->borderImage($color, $width, $height); ``` as...
