OK Mike, I'm thinking a wallpaper border design, placed behind eye level, like Rockwell and the Saturday Night Post covers.

If you use VERY desaturated colors, cool in temperature, and absolutely equal in value, they will disappear in incandescent light, whereas the warm tones in flesh will spring to life (Thomas Kinkaid Secrets Revealed!)

I think the Allen is definitely on the money, but we westerners don't seem to get subtlety, which would be at the core of the Yin Yang. Personally I keep trying for subtlety, but it doesn't seem to be my long suit.
