Looks good to me. (Or would, inaja da'i donri.) I suspect, though, that 
{zirpu} denotes a color that isn't expressible with RGB - it's the fourth 
primary, violet. (IIRR, the red-seeing cones see this, but not as strongly as 
they see red. Because both red-seeing and blue-seeing cones see zirpu, it is 
often confused with nukni. iku'i mi xunynarvi'a gi'onai xuncizvi'a .iseni'ibo
