  they

  quite	
  neutral

  by

  the

  Due	
  to	
  the

  brave	
  picture,	
  I	
  think	
  this	
  is	
  a	
  
      successful	
  ploy,	
  as	
  it	
  too	
  many	
  bright

  a

  it	
  may	
  be	
  
      a	
  bit	
  ‘much’	
  or	
  difficult	
  to	
  grasp	
  for	
  the	
  everyday	
  reader.	
  Another	
  interesFng	
  feature	
  of	
  the	
  
      colours	
  is	
  the	
  picture	
  quality	
  that	
  compliments	
  it,	
  it

  a	
  lower

  it

  With

  the	
  image	
  
      almost

  Polaroid
