I assume the scheme is also personal to you so seeing it fully laid out would be interesting if that is possible. (Another thing I was wondering is whether it affects the perception of psychological pricing; like prices ending in a bunch of nines to make it seem cheaper, and such)

Here's an approximate rendition of them: I remember the number ones because it was at the intersection of a few different things for me: * I had an OCD-ish fixation on even numbers, especially 2, 4 and 8 (guess 6 is 'impure' because it is 2x3, thus having an odd number in its ancestry?). Everything I did had to be in those numbers. Actual example: me playing Rayman M and failing a race level, going in the menu and starting over was 5 actions, so I had to swallow my spit 3 times to bring it to 8. * I had an imaginary kind of world that was actually a Myst-like set of worlds that you would access through linking books (the concept fascinated me). There was a bookcase full of those books. The worlds had distinct color schemes and vibes, and they were grouped by vibe. The most pleasant ones, naturally, had colors green/yellow/pink (2/4/8) and had a round, nature-y vibe. (Another thing I was wondering is whether it affects the perception of psychological pricing; like prices ending in a bunch of nines to make it seem cheaper, and such) Since 9 is brown, those are what I call shitstain prices. Not very pleasant.

I had recalled you mentioning something about 9 being brown and how it affected the perception of such prices somewhere on the melonDS blog, but wasn't able to find it again. Was probably a couple years ago now.
