OK. Here are the colors of the elephant only:
This is what I do know about the blue color:

H:207 S:65% B:56%
R:50 G:102 B:144
C:86% M:59% Y:26% K:7%
Number: 326690
Pantone: 542

Other than these colors I used only black and white.

Can someone get this information on the web by the images
and let the esteemed image builders know what they are
if necessary? (Maybe just copy this message to www--I'm
not following www these days.)
