This page is somewhat of an
oddity. In daily-format comics, particularly where the very characters
themselves aren't fixed, there isn't much point to a cast listing. But
hey, I'll do one for posterity anyway.
After about a dozen or so
strips, I standardized colours, attempting to get exact values instead
of such wonderfully descriptive terms as 'blue.' To be noted is that
different computers render colours differently: this affects both
'actual' strip colour and the colour you see. Orbz was started on one
computer, and since then creation has taken place on different machines
running different software. And, interestingly enough, colours are not
rendered uniformly across systems. In fact, in one strip, Blue was
light enough to be mistaken for Teal, despite the fact that the colour appeared
to be the same. On your end, your monitor will render colours
differently depending on your settings, most significantly gamma.
You'll probably never notice, unless you use multiple computers
interchangeably.
Format is straightforward:
Name (Physical, Colour 1 / Colour 2) Colour
1 is top, colour 2 bottom. For monochromatic Orbz, there is one colour.
(Sneaky.) Colour-Number form indicates the exact colour: the colour is
the base shade, while the number represents lightness, in %white. It is
a bit complex, but it works.
