	o Solely using colours is *not* a good GUI practice, as many folks
		have different kinds of colour-blindedness or some
		browsers|monitors|window-systems have difficulty making
		a sufficient distinction between colour's display.

	o One should try to also use a text, icon, or other *clue* in
		addition to a colour display difference view.

		the simplicity and beauty of the floral arrangement
		go *off*

	KISS - Keep It Simple and Sweet so the fragrance of the bouquet
