People who know me know I've been walking around spouting stuff like 'if you need more than 8 colours you don't know what you're doing'. :) All the artists who have taken time to draw those nifty magic workbench icons and backdrops will know what I'm talking about. Putting together decent to down-right cool images using a limited number of colours is really an art form in itself.
Esprita 4000 is a workbench backdrop picture done in 8-colours that is compatible with MagicWB icons but does not use the standard MWB colours. I developed this palette for my own custom icons and have found it to be incredibly versatile.
