Hey, here's something weird. I recently constructed a CF site (I think I had
it critiqued on this list) called 

http://akaroa.com/

I thought the home page was a moderately tasteful shade of brown.
*Everybody* else I've asked tells me it's green. My mother (who likes to
pick faults) insisted I was colour-blind just like my father, only he said
it was green too. Trouble is the colour is #999966 -- equal parts red and
green. So it *should* be brown -- a dirty shade of yellow. And that's what
it looks like to me. 

So tell me, green or brown? You may want to respond offlist and I can post
the results back.

<tip>The tabular data control is an interesting way of presenting simple
sets of data from a comma-delimited text file. It offers sorting and
filtering *on the client side* and it's a lot of fun to play with. It only
works on IE, but if you're doing intranet work then it's worth checking out.
