The Yahoo image trick has the complication for some of my
optically challenged friends, in that they can not always
pick out the 'number' if the 'hue shifts' are not smack dab
in the middle of their limited RGB processing. Those folks
do not 'dress badly' because they are 'fashion challenged'
they do so because they can not tell that certain hues in
the visual spectrum, are, well GARISH TOGETHER on planet earth.

from this problem, since the light refracted from their sun
does not provide the full range as we get here. but should
we be prejudiced against the non-terran? I mean, how would
we look in their native atmosphere? The questionwhat is the colour of the sky in your world?
is not merely a pejorative you know. }
