hm ... this is in tune with steve (initially I used light blue 9):
"Yes, I think it would work better to use color 503 (light gray from
Mosaic) instead of light blue. If those zones are really a vary light
shade of blue, you could try 505 (white/lt blue) or 370 (gray/lt blue).
But I suspect 503 will work better."
I picked 505 after doing some tests with all three colors.

I disagree on the overlap. if this is really a misregistering of the
printing passes the white border would have the same size in all areas, while
the white line on the rocket is much wider than the one on the helmet or the
craters. before I started designing the part I also considered this being an
overlap (it would have saved a lot of time an effort just declare it as an
error) but IMO there ARE white borders around the craters, minifig and the
rest.
I remember having a second version of this part I couldn't use as a basis for
the re-engeneering because of its REAL overlap. I'll post a scan if I find it.
