to julian: you do make life troublesome for me. two dark colours are most difficult to use, especially in such a long blog entry! but there it is, done. (don't quibble! i colourzilla-ed the penn colours from your link but i had to change the values to make them at all readable!)

and i do not just allot fixed colour schemes to people! yes, there are colours associated with each person, sometimes for very obvious reasons - su-lin entries usually involve green, von often some shade of yellow or orange, but there are many other factors. and i do let people choose colours! always have done! usually when they've done something especially kind or heroic, or to mark a special occasion! i can't begin to tell you how this plays havoc with my colour planning - and heaven knows i'm compulsive about that - so you see!

and, as you didn't know that, julian, it must mean you have not been nice to me for a long time! she pouts.
