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=A2ve 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. Peter
