I defer to your fine analysis ;-)

I'm happy to get some feedback on the colour.  The choice of black and
white was partly because of its neutrality; but as you point out, also
in keeping the black white film and the original black and white
Glenda art work (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/glenda.html).  (I’ve
made a self-conscious attempt to keep new aesthetic ideas anchored to
the tradition---if only loosely---in an attempt to maintain some
continuity with the past.)

I stuck mostly to the black and white palette in the stuff I posted
last year: http://pdf.multics.org/Propaganda/

I am also partial to the reds and blues used in the original movie
poster.  I'll post some colour variations in the final draft.
