You inspired me to produce the following (attached). It's a 
work-in-progress (I'd like to eventually replace all the graphics; 
they'll have a very similar look - except I am thinking to use Japanese 
characters instead of Chinese, and will have a more complex kanji on the 
numbers, but the colors I plan to leave basically the same), but I like 
the tile backs already :-). It's a wood tile set as you will see, so it 
keeps about the same lightness as the current classic but is more yellow 
(less pink).

I also completely re-did the shadows. The problem with the old shadows 
is that they use blur in the svg (which isn't yet supported by Qt), so 
inkscape renders them very differently from Qt. The new shadows are 
simple gradients (which also don't slow inkscape to a crawl!) so they 
look the same in-game as in inkscape.

(Actually, I re-did everything about the tile backs; they should now be 
cloned more correctly/consistently, and they are also neatly grid-aligned.)
