It doesn't *need* to be exactly the red you'd find in a Crayola crayon box.
In fact, it wouldn't be. Klingon blood is pinkish purple (shown in both Star
Trek VI and in Star Trek: Klingon, but not surprisingly not in TNG or DS9).
This could be one of the UNO card colors.
And we've seen the swamp-green color of the Klingon sky, assuming that it
looks like that most of the time. That could be {chal}.
I wouldn't use {tI} or {Hov}. The colors of these things vary too much. But
we could come up with other things.
Then we need "reverse" and "skip" . . .
