Since some of the Scala colors are very close (just last night I was looking
at two of the Scala oranges, and noticed how close they were), it would be
best for the pictures to be taken under the same conditions. Of course that
could be hard to do if someone doesn't have all the parts (fortunately the
colors are far enough apart that you probably don't have to worry about the
differences which could crop up from automated exposure controls etc.).

Sounds like we're off to a great start. I'm glad someone finally got off their
duff and started documenting this. I keep thinking about it, and getting
distracted by other projects.
