Added 1 new A* page:Oh it's late again--I let myself get distracted by the internet, and then by alarming Thanksgiving plans that had me looking up how to prepare mashed yams in my old Betty Crocker cookbook--so I'll just confess that for today's colors I pretty much just swiped from yesterday's colors, which I liked so much. Although a lot of previous pages relied heavily on this sort of pink to purple range, so I guess there's something about it I do like. Before that I'd done a lot of back and forth with other color schemes, and nearly settled on this one

but in the end it was still a little hard on the old eyes, I think--it actually gets easier for me to detect this the tireder I get. : P Also it didn't capture quite the right balance of backlighting and front lighting on Selenis, I guess. Still I don't really like the idea of reusing color schemes to such an extent...maybe I'll manage to come up with something newer for the next page. : P
 
EDIT: Hah, I'm silly, all I needed to do was swap some of those greens around to get the lighting value relationships sorted out. So I used that version; here's the pink-purple version I'd uploaded as the final colors for a little bit there:

The final green one has better value contrast, which helps a bit. Hey also this one's all about showing Selenis the (green--okay so whatever A* currency they use probably isn't green but never mind) money, right? It's almost like I planned that accidentally. Man this color stuff is deep.
