What colour are the Mysterons?

Before anyone answers, have a look at the homepage of the Gerry Anderson Complete Comic History website...

With no colour pages ever produced for the strip, my immediate thought (as cover artist too!) was 'green' - but co-producer Kim Stevens thought gold was more appropiate.

Probably a massive can of worms to consider, and no right answer, but... well, what do other Shades think?

I'd say very pale, almost yellow, lime green... only trouble is, my sister calls herself Captain Lime. Sorry, Captain! :shhh-*

I think that what is there is very cool, assuming I am supposed to be looking at the polyhedron with the eyes, that is.

Aside from the picture, I still reckon they're non-coporeal and without colour...

I'm assuming from the lack of comments that the guides to 'The Mark of the Mysterons' and 'The Mysterons' are not to everyone's taste?

I thought they might be multicoloured like their Complex - or plain white if they didn't want to attract attention.

Just in case people missed the original homepage, which was over a year ago, this is what we did:

- now multi-hued might have been interesting, but difficult to make good in a single illustration. I'm glad that when Daryl Joyce did the Mysteron Complex for the latest homepage, he chose the reasonably predominant rosy pink for it.

White would have been easy - but somewhat boring!
