Nice solution. Might be worth a note in the next > newsletter to suggest that people submit sea colors. > 50 years ago I joined the Royal Navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea. So far as I remember, it's mostly dark blue, apart from where the river outflows make it a muddy colour. Where the sea is deep (more than approx. 50m) it is pretty much the same everywhere. The Caribbean is not a light blue/green, apart from shallow water over sandy beaches. Of course there are phytoplankton blooms, but these are of a transient nature. This scheme introduces yet another for loop in Nasal, of undetermined size. This potentially introduces yet another source of stagger to FG, or it would if it worked, but as far as I can see it never runs here. Is it meant? Or do I need to do something to make it work? Nevertheless, perhaps it has promise in introducing muddy water.
