Hmmmm ... I have been experimenting with an ivory-like colour for several
days now and find it very playable and very clear, in spite of Matthew's
comment ... :-)  The only problem was that the blue dragon was too pale
to contrast well with the new colour, so I changed that too.  My recipes are:

    Tile background:  RGB 255 255 192
    Blue dragon body: RGB 120 120 222

There is a small example attached to bug 184596 at:

Re clones in file "classic.svg", I found that (in Inkscape) I could do
Ctrl + left-click on the main tile, to select just the face.  Then the four
un-highlighted tiles all change face-colour in sympathy with the main
tile, so at least they are clones to that extent.  OTOH, as you might
expect, the highlighted tiles did not change colour.

Cheers, Ian W.
