I guess the best place to start would be the svg files themselves,
although perhaps the AI files on my ftp site would be easier to sort
through since they have a better color palatte window? To be honest I
have worked with all of these files and you will find that there are a
variety of colors used for a certain tone (there are several blues for
instance, with different grades of lightness for all of them). This is a
mistake that should be fixed. Defining the correct values for these
would help the effort to replace the incorrect ones and promote using
the correct one in the future.

This will probably be somehwat complicated, don't hesitate to send me an
email when you need mroe information.

Hey...that is my line!

No problem...we all know how that is. We slowly work towards something
better. If we do this in large enough numbers we can go a long way :-)

Bye,
Kenneth
