The colours on the tabber on the main page work really well IMO. I completely agree. (Didn’t see that coming, did ya? ;-)) Template:TableDA is fine as-is.

I was only talking about those cases where we want strong visual clues that communicate the fusion law patterns, e.g., With a list a little bit longer than this, the pattern (BLUE + BLUE = PURPLE, X + X = BLUE, X + Y = X or Y) emerges right away. This was the case here, but after switching to the pastel colors, the contrast between the colors is too small to easily scan the table for those patterns. Only for those cases I’d like to use the bolder colors. (I am assuming that Robin might think along similar lines, since s/he also uses the same or very similar colors on the pages explaining the fusion laws.)

Alrighty, so with the explanations out of the way and what looks like Wie’s blessing, I am going to add an optional parameter to Template:Bdc allowing bolder background colors. Nothing at all will change for anybody else or any existing pages (other than mine), of course. Robin and others would still be free to use the pastel defaults or bolder options (for special purposes.)
