I'd be very happy to help out on this! I agree that green to gray could be a nicer colour theme - can we get a version like that? I can try messing with colour channels, but it would be easier to do it from source.
On that note - it would be great to get the image as something other than pdf - a vector format like eps or high resolution bitmap (png) would be great. Just a general question - what is the end goal for this project? Eg. an A3 poster to sell on the MySociety site? Is it purely promotional (aesthetic), or more of a straight informatic (accurate and useful)?
