Re: [Icehouse] How many colors do you use? (Zendo)

INtroducing more colours introduces additional (frustrating)
complexity, as now one of the attributes has 11 possibilities instead
of 4.  This is much different from the other attributes.

I've always found that if I want to increase the complexity, that the
better solution is to make the rule more complex rather than adding
colours.
