I disagree with Stinky. I'm also tired of the sickly looking tones of the SE. I don't think your project should look like GOUT. We don't need GOUT; we've got it. Your color choices are fine with me as well as many of us. I think you've created something we can all be happy with.

PS thanks for all the hard painstaking work.
