Von's hint is:

The numbers of colours are important

Yeah... on this one, I'm currently working off of number of rings per block and strength of the colours. Also, notice it says "Numbers", not "number". Could they be suggesting RGB?
EDIT: Now that I look at it, RGB values aren't static within the rings because of the low-res scans. That's right out.

Could be another abrv. word to first letter and make sentence type card.

Does THIS help?
I've been playing with the above scan in MS Paint, with not much luck. Would someone *please* send me a clearer (bigger?) scan?
PS I have Paintshop, but don't know how to use it. In my post above, I meant I determined there are 10 colors with MS Paint (pick and dab, copy and paste, whatever you want to call it... LOL)

How many layers does the sun have?
edit - I was thinking the sun's core might be a "destination", but prolly not.

Using the earlier clue about
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
numbers of colours that's important
I wondered if it has anything to do with...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the number of bands of colour of each width - 6 of the large width, then 3, then 10 then either 3 then 1 or just 4.
6 3 10 3 1 or 6 3 10 4
Either way I couldn't make any sense of them!

17-1456 tigerlily
13-0947 banana
16-1356 persimmon orange
13-0939 golden cream
14-1139 pumpkin
14-1133 apricot nectar

Not sure what to do with them! Do you Brits have a single word for a produce stand?

hi, i locked my self out of this yesterday with:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
saturn (rings) neptune (moon orbits) and sun as of the colouring
Now bearing in mind vons clue i was thinking:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
solar system (10 colours= 9 planets and a sun) but the only obvious one word version i could think of with this is space; to no avail I doubt there is any point in trying universe as there are many solar sytems; can anyone one else think of a one word name?
I still have two more tries for today so hopefully I'll get lucky!
