Perhaps having SOP with different blues is not appropriate. But I
think Fading Into Oblivion would be a good choice for citations: Fruit-
salady hues which get more pale as citation levels rise. This mimics
normall communications, where statements from the distant past are only
vaguely(sp?) remembered. Who said what could be distinguished easily
for recent citations, while the past blurs.
