So Todd hates Javascript. I wrote a Javascript compiler for a dedicated
web browser, and it was/is used by many hackers to break in the system,
so I understand why.
But here's another fly for the soup. Suzanne, have you considered
replacing the solid rectangles with three sided orthogonal view, like a
1x1 brick? (warning, bad ascii art coming)
/\
/ \
/ A \
|\ /|
| \ / |
| B\/ |
\ | C/
\ | /
\|/
Sides A, B and C would be 'lit' differently, to represent the range of
brightness that the color has when you're looking at it. Just two shades
would help a lot. I'd guess you could start with the existing colors and
halve the RGB values to get a 'shadow' version of the same color. You
could even keep the table you have now and split it into two pieces to
represent a top view of a brick and its side:

You can see why I never worked in the art department.
