That little "dustup" deserved a coloring. I decided to go with Institution Beige for the color of the walls, but left the graying background to give it some texture.

That is indeed a great eye catcher!

Although I would not call that wall color "institutional beige". It's closer to "institutional puke-green" and thus on the approved list for use in all schools and community centers.

Inasmuch as this is a nice, amusing bit, is there a reason why Atsali's tail is gray, while the rest of her skin is, well, skin coloured?

Intentional. ;)

Her "natural" skin color is the gray, but when she's in school mode, it's the Caucasian-color. Except, of course, when Mister "Cutie Tail" comes out to play. Or comes out when she's asserting her succubus side.

Like, say, when she's angry.

Oh, good. I knew her natural skin color was gray. But I wasn't sure if in this instance, it was intentional, or a blooper. But it sounds like you have spent some time thinking about it, to make it a rational, intentional decision.

Or, at the very least, you were able to come up with a rational explanation to cover up a blooper... :P

So, which is it? The world may never know... 8-) :lol:

Technically it's Mint . . . though I've never seen a mint plant that color.

And the Community Center in my home town emphatically did not use it . . . and by the time I graduated, neither did the schools. Of course, I'm not sure that one formulation of Mountain Dawn was an improvement . . . it turned a thoroughly disgusting color under fluorescent lights. Fortunately they figured it out really fast . . . only one room.

And it wasn't my home-room. :twisted:

Atsali's normal skin colour is a slightly blue-tinted white, not a grey type hue...

Have you noticed how many things with mint oil in them are green?

It's food coloring. Mint oil looks like water.

Mint plants are green . . . but it's an attractive medium-dark green, just a bit off Forest Green. Where that repulsive institutional shade got associated with mint I'll never understand.

Which is rather less than a distinguishing feature of them. Most non-microscopic plants have, at least, green leaves.

Another common color for combinations with mint oil, is red. A rather bright red. AFAIK there is nothing red about mint.

"Nothing red" isn't strictly correct in all cases.

And then, of course, there are those really off-the-wall sparks who have been working on a genetic fusion of spearmint, peppermint, and scorpion pepper. The resulting hot-and-cold flavor confuses the hell out of food critics (those it doesn't incapacitate immediately, that is).

I think it comes from things like Mint Ice Cream and other types of stuff like confections & sauces/chutneys... Their pastel nature got associated w/ 'Mint' as a color.

So be accurate and call it "Mint Ice Cream" instead.

Of course, I used to know someone who liked licorice ice cream . . . it looked like wet cement.
