Added 1 new A* page:Coloring this one was fairly straightforward--tried twisting the hues after I was done, but nothing struck me as better than the colors I'd already picked out. Here's a Photoshop screenshot, because who doesn't like those? (click it for the full-size version)
That "gammatest.png" image is from The Monitor calibration and Gamma assessment page, and it gives me a way to make sure I'm seeing the colors correctly on my screen, which is a bit of an older model LCD I guess where the tone shifts depending on your vertical viewing angle, which can make getting colors and shades right pretty tough if you're just trying to eyeball them--but your eye somehow adds up the differently colored horizontal lines in the test image to the correct gray when you're viewing it at the correct angle (this only works in the full-size version of the screenshot, since the shrunk-down one is based on Photoshop blending the lines as it scaled them down, and I guess Photoshop doesn't do it quite like your eye does, so the colors pop out instead of going gray), so if I keep the image I'm working on at the same level on my screen, I can be reasonably sure I'm seeing it for what it actually is. : P (I'm using the 2.2 gamma test image.)
