Hmmm. Yes. I, being the Wolf, will of course have to have dibs on RGB #006F00 -- a rich, velvety Forest Green, with a sort of cool night-tree feeling. And whenever anyone does a mouse-over on my particular Rink-PushPin, it will bring up the hauntingly mournful cry of the wolven chorus; with a lingering bit of cello in the far distance. Naturally, clicking on my profile will emit the soothing aromas of jasmine and moss, although gardenia scent will do in a pinch, I suppose.

What's that...? We don't yet have interactive click-and-sniff? Hmpf.

...Incidentally, Grishny already seems to have laid claim to "Icky Greenish" RGB #009066, so at least I know *I'm* safe.


> Hhmmmm let me think..... I like the colour dark metallic blue, or seriously light metallic purple looks OK, although now that I think of it I once saw a car that started off as a kind of reddy/copper colour then changed to a purple/green/blue etc as you walked around it. (had something to do with the sun and the type of paint)

Wow, yeah. That paint. Those are the 'Color-shift' light-interference pigments, which rely on glassy layers of magnesium fluoride and chrome to create a prismatic effect. I think I've seen a Chrysler Sebring outfitted in the gold/green/blue version of Chameleon Color-shift. It really did look like its skin was *alive*.


> R"yeah...I want the pin of a different colour"oach

How soon can we convince Faux Pas to switch over into coding hardware... for, say, a laser holographic show running inside a large glass sheet of fluorite? You know. Remember those wickedly flexible, metallic Terrain Maps from the "Red Planet" movie, which were maps in a sort of translucent gold? Man, we gotta program us some of THOSE!

Wolf "Colour meister extraordinaire" spirit

...Perhaps the iridescent car paint that Roach was thinking of looks something like THIS...
