Well, if you have revisions between 1 and 3000, but most lines are e.g.,
above 2500, then you won't see much difference: the lowest revision gets
the most red, the highest revision gets the most blue. Revisions in
between the lowest and the highest get a color between red and blue,
according to their 'distance' between the lowest and highest revision.
You can try this on the src/changelog.txt file in the TSVN repository:
that file has many lines, with the oldest at the bottom and the newest
ones at the top - when you scroll through that file in TortoiseBlame,
you will see the fading colors quite clear.
