All this discussion about colors is making my head spin. I ordered my colorblind persons set. white clear black grey and one color blue. Since there are no other colors its doesn't have to be set apart from anything. Plus I am red green so in theory i am seeing it more or less correctly. I look forward to people's leftover stashes from being hocked on ebay. What do you think the least desireable/ most often sold color will be? I say orange. -mice On 8/10/07, David Artman <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Yay! > > > From: Andy Looney <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > I think Brown would be a great opaque color. > > > > That's what we've been talking about lately too.
