ah - yeah, that makes a lot of sense honestly. I think usually my inclination is just to ramp towards blue/purple no matter what and this was sort of an experiment in... not doing that. Though yellow>green>purple>bluegrey>black isnt really far off from that. my initial thoughts were more along the lines of subpixel aliasing like with fonts... which i did a pretty deep dive into recently and it turns out not to be the case haha. 

looking at Panda's work -- i can definitely see what you mean. thats a lot more similar to the type of subpixel things, ramping through reds on outer linework and blues on inner, which is slightly different from how fonts do it if I remember. but really really good, though in those cases its really dependant on the background color being a specific fit rather than just white. this was actually sorta a study in oceanscented 's type of palette, but my sort of hyper-poppy colors ingrained too

It works because value is more important than color for AA. It's also usually nicer than plain AA, except when saturation is too high. You might want to check panda's work if you haven't already =)

Interesting art style

Very cool style.
