Why did you take it down the first time?

Pretty, but I can't read the alphas...at all. Maybe make them a bit darker?

Things to fix at first glance:
1. hard to read
2. legends are wayyyy too small on the non-dakotafelter file
3. why are your mod legends top-left aligned
4. to my knowledge, there are a lot of other contrasting colors to use in halo-halo

GLWIC though!

Edit: 5. Also no color code on your white alphas

I hope the lack of contrast on the alphas is intentional, because I actually dig the set (apart from the green accents which don't work quite as well), assuming that contrast is better in-person. Obviously there's a lot left to be desired in presentation, but I like the general idea of the set.

Hi yes it actually is, thought it would give the set an overall softer look because it actually started darker. Added the green accents because I didn't want to totally neglect the red and green jellies in a halo-halo but will be testing some more colors. Thanks!
