The funny thing is I am HUGE fan of the black/ white/fuchsia combo but I really hate doing things in colorways that have already been done. Maybe I'd do lime green.

But I think you were refereing to my "crater" reference?

If you look at the overall shapes in the final design, it's really basically ust a circle on a square. But from the same vantage point, it could just as easily be concave instead of convex.

I really haven't had time to play with colors but maybe if the circle were darker than the square, then the effect would be reversed. Or - hmmm - split between cooler and warmer colors, since one recedes and the other approaches.

If one doesn't have access to a graphics program, it's enough to print out the picture in really light grey scale (or the reverse side of the printout) and use colored pencils pencils to play with different options. I'll try to post some examples later.
