The sky blue looks a bit too grey. I'll play around with a bit.
I really like the tan and beige colours, by the way.

I'm really tired of apps using only fully-saturated colours.
(Especially cyan hurts my eyes.) A more subdued palette is easier
on the eye, and images drawn with these colours really look
better. (And no, bright, satuared colours are not more 'fun' for
kids!)

Huh?

But anyway, the buttons for all the greyscale colours look
almost the same, so we should think about removing some of them.
I'll try to come up with a proposal for a new colour palette.

(This is easier said than done. One important thing to be aware
of, is that all colours must give different tints when tinting
stamps. We had a problem with magenta and purple before. The two
colours looked completely different, but gave the same colour when
tinting stamps. Some very minor modifications to the colour values
fixed this.)
