So I thought I could do something terribly clever by having block-colour SVGs using fill:currentColor, that show through transparent gaps in a PNG overly. (This overlay doesn't join up properly because it's just a proof of concept.)
It works, but where I'd hoped it would make it easier to see which ribbon is which when they were the same/similar colours, it actually just makes the whole view way too busy to be easily understood. I think I might put the outlines into the SVGs and that way I have a nice, easily colourable ribbon system at least.
Also I made the ribbons smaller which I think should make it easier to parse. And there's some nice reset/undo/redo controls too which make the whole thing way more playable in practice.
