Thanks for the seed of an idea.

This thread has brought a very interesting characteristic of a covering scheme - how's it look with different backgrounds. Emmmmm ....

I've been creating covering patterns using Microsoft's Visio. I either scan the mfg's profile pics included in the manual or use the plans to construct one. Then it's time to lay out various schemes and colors. I thought that I'd toss a couple of pics to demonstrate. My 1st build was a 4Star60. One of the schemes was a geometric red-over-yellow scheme. Before today I never thought of coloring the background. I simply added a solid color blue to see how well (or poorly)the scheme holds up with the background.

pic 1 - original top view "on paper"
pic 2 - same view "on blue background"
pic 3 - gray background
pic 4 - green background
pic 5 - blue sky background

My next challenge will be to find various "sky" images that can be used for backgrounds. I was wondering how I'd spend my Saturday morning ...

Yea, I know, the color intensity (or lack)will change with different lighting conditions - nuthin's perfect ...
