sorry Bill, you're wrong ;)
The five colors are shown in the star shapes on the comp - white (highlights and stars), light gray (the geese's accents and underbellies), brown, dark gray (goose necks), and black. The "dark brown" and "darker gray" you see is just a result of my "halftone" method (hatch lines) being smoothly resized by photoshop.
If I hadn't used the hatchmarks, there'd actually be seven colors.
edit: to be fair, I could have used only the light gray (white was too stark for the larger areas) and used "darker gray" and "darker brown", but I like the artistic element the hatchmarks give it. Another time, perhaps.
