Thomas Brand has created a Newton MessagePad color palette – an creative mix of hexidecimal codes, early ’90s shades of green, and blog design.
Thomas used the palette for Egg Freckles, his awesomely-designed Newton blog, based on Grant Hutchinson’s Batmobile Newton prototype.
I always think of the Newton in olive-toned colors – but my own MP110 is flaking along the edges, exposing a brighter green under that grippy surface layer.
I agree, when I think of a Newton I think of a greener tone than what is represented on Egg Freckles at the moment. My Twitter page, twitter.com/thomasbrand portrays my previous color scheme. I could be wrong, but maybe Grant’s Batmobile prototype is missing the greenish hue we so adore in later Newtons.
