I found it interesting how Renban and Nabner lines interact when they overlap. Very nice.

I had made an error early on that sent me down a series of roadblocks, but once I righted my wrongs, my goodness what a great puzzle. I absolutely loved how cleanly it all came together. Very very well done.

Can anyone help me out (colorblind)? I can see the renbans fine, but can't differentiate between whispers and nabner. One is thinner than the other...is the thin one GW or Nanber?
---------------
The german whisper lines are thinner, should i make a colourblind-friendly version and if so, what colours should I use?

thanks for the response. for colors, really depends on the type of colorblindness. but honestly, knowing the thinner lines are GW is enough. i should have figured from the title that gold (nabner) were the diamonds anyway, ha. thanks!
