Within our chosen technologies it is possible to use custom shades as a backdrop for the lighter shades, but not on the map backdrop.\r\n\r\nThe shades also lack coherency.\r\n\r\nThis two-stage task includes the following:\r\n* design 10 new color shades.  A, B, and C will remain as some shade\r\n of Blue, Green and Red (resp).  But the other 7 shades may be created as fresh shades/colors.  The 10 shades should remain legible and clear against Black, White, Gray and Blue-Ocean shades (see the sample images posted below).\r\n* for lighter shades, devise complimentary background shades to be used in UI listings, to retain the legibility of lighter-shade text.\r\n\r\nNote 1: Users will frequently copy/paste the chart images into MS Word-style documents, where the image will always have a white backdrop.\r\nNote 2: The Debrief application has recently had a UI makeover, where two particular shades of Blue and Red have been used extensively RGB(00,00,51) and RGB(204,0,51).  If aesthetically possible, I would be interested in the designer investigating use of these specific shades for Blue and Red.\r\n\r\n** The deliverable for this task will be 10 foreground and a number of background shades, presented in RGB color format**\r\n\r\nGray backdrop:\r\n![graybackdrop](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1108513/6962528/204e3664-d92d-11e4-9e52-fc62b87d04fb.png)\r\n\r\nBlack backdrop:\r\n![blackbackdrop](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1108513/6962531/205084d2-d92d-11e4-865b-e71e3eb3e2e8.png)\r\n\r\nOcean-shade backdrop:\r\n![seabackdrop](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1108513/6962529/204e96ae-d92d-11e4-8a16-bbf57bf21d88.png)\r\n\r\nWhite back-drop:\r\n![whitebackdrop](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1108513/6962530/2050683a-d92d-11e4-8898-493f7298e63f.png)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
