Walls are lit by 0.7 ambient and 0.3 diffuse before clamping is applied, and the direction of the light is orthogonal to the grid. This means you can get a chroma difference by setting one or more components to 16–21 inclusive with at least one unique component. As with 'normal' double colors, not every combination is possible.

Here's a list of all colors with values between 0 and 30 inclusive where wall chromaticity depends on lighting. See if you can find one you like. The image is 99122 pixels high, too much for some software. Apple's Preview displays garbage after 2^15 pixels, repeats the top of the image again at 2^16, and garbage again after 2^15+2^16. It also tends to crash.

Format: red value, green value, blue value, cycle, wall at its brightest, wall at its darkest

I can make an HTML version with larger entries if desired.

Preview is screwed because phpBB doesn't like the size either.

Some software doesn't want to admit that it can't handle the size and claims the image is corrupted. phpBB shouldn't have touched a single bit of the full-size image.
