The near-white gray is so near-white, might as well make it white. Why not?
I'm not sure if I would like that. I find Pure White a bit obnoxious. It's also rather uncommon to see in images unless there's serious overexposure going on.
It's 242,240,231 now, so it does have a warm tone to it. 240 is quite different from 255 I think. A slight yellow white will appear brighter than a pure white without having that cold sting, but mine is a bit more grey.
Jonlan is from LaserSquad, but the water tank and master droid is from RebelStar Raiders. I felt an urge yesterday to repixel the entire moonbase.
