With the greens I've been looking at, I prefer the paler, every so slightly bluer greens to the very yellow greens that are quite snot coloured and unpleasant to me. I'm also a fan of the lighter shades to the very deep and dominating greens. DS 278-5 seems a little more appropriate, but i want to check the visibility of the glow in the dark ink in normal light first, because if it's visible enough by it's self, I'd much rather do that.
And I also needed to test what red to use for the Manson layout. I decided to go much subtler than I was looking before, removing the blood droplets from the poster side, and simply having the text red. I want to spot varnish over the red sections on both sides to create the feeling of liquid, this combined with the red will hopefully create a link in the viewers mind between the visuals I've represented and blood/murder. I have been a lot subtler than I could have been, I think this gives it more integrity than smearing everything in splatter brushes, which could be deemed a little tacky. Anyway, it's important I get the right red, it needs to be crimson enough, without having a tinge of pink, orange or indigo.








With this, it was much easier to find what I was looking for, a few of the ones above are too orange or too indigo, or even too light, appearing a bit pink. DS91-1 is a vivid and quite pur red, with enough darkness to it to have connotations of blood without seeming too heavy on the page.
