I'd noticed that. It's very effective. Looks to me like you do the same thing
with old brown with sprinklings of new brown too. If you look a misterzumbi's
work (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=144444) he throws in dark
orange too sometimes.

Oh that sounds excellent. Would you be willing to make more stickers available
if this was the case? I'd love to get some graffiti stickers made to Lego scale.
It might be worth making them fir 1x6x5 bricks or similar to sort of make a
"graffiti" brick.
