yeah. i was wrong about brown... (remember my disclaimer about it being late). it will go to a muted combination of the two highest voted colors, which in this case approached a brown/purple (~ #550055). it could have just as easily evolved to dark teal (~ #005555) or dark mustard (~ #555500). the distribution won't be exact. but right now it looks like a fairly even split between blue and red. since green wasn't quite as popular, it died at about gen 57. without any green in the mix, it gets closer to the red/blue split (in this case, heavier on the red) which makes brown. actually you can throw out anything past gen 40, because there's really no difference to the naked eye past that point. justin -- http://justinhileman.com _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
