I’m a new user of this plugin, and noticed the same issue: no matter what I fill into the lower and upper limit config boxes for the ‘Spanning between values’, it keeps things black…
Basically, this is exactly the one reason I was looking for a tag cloud plugin 😉
I can confirm this problem.
Same/similar phenomenon with my Ultimate Tag Cloud Widget. Color spanning between values FROM #A0A0A0 TO #111111 – but on the web page the different sized tags practically have the same color – either: rgb(160, 160, 160) or: rgb(161, 161, 161). this makes everything a light gray and not different shades like I had expected. tag size is between 10px and 21px like expected and correct.
This color spanning seemed to be working before the update to 1.3.17 which I am using now.
Thanks in advance for some advice. Is this a bug?

PS: For testing, I just tried to switch my color spanning values
FROM #A0A0A0 TO #111111
now to this:
FROM #111111 TO #A0A0A0
And it creates the shades of gray for the tags. However the shading is like this: biggest tag = lightest gray, smallest tag = darkest gray. I would like to have it the other way round, but that seems to be impossible because of a bug, possibly in function »calc_step(…)« or »do_utcw(…)« in file »ultimate-tag-cloud-widget.php«.

Sorry for the extremely late reply, I’ve been crazy busy this fall/winter.
I’ve found this bug also and it has been fixed in version 2.0 which will release shortly.
Thanks, Rickard!
The update fixed the problem. The color spanning works as expected now.
