Well, one idea I have: for the orange, make this a female character, it should
IMHO help you get rid of your "agent orange" image/problem.

> the question about purple/violet and cyan/turquise. Also I think I will
I've been thinking of this, I really prefer turquoise over cyan and violet
over magenta. But you know kasper, just pick out the colors that make a nice
consistent set of characters, I'll modify the code if needed, we won't do this
twice a year so it's not such a real problem. What I can't do is change and
change and change again. Changing once is fine.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
