How to improve:

  • Orcus is ok, could be whiter? Though the current blue might convey the concept of a dim non-red object.
  • Sedna would be redder than Makemake. Make Makemake a lighter/brighter pink/brown and Sedna a little redder.
  • OR10 needs to be redder than Sedna, per Brown.
  • Quaoar should look more like Makemake, ie:File:Quaoar-red-ssc2004-05c.jpg
  • TC302 listed for brainstorming
