The key was really quickly thrown together in Photoshop (three ramps, at 120 degrees to one another, in screen mode), so it's far from ideal! The meshblock boundaries generally follow streets, so with a bit of labelling they could double as a street layer. Maybe I'm just overfamiliar with Wellington after staring at meshblock maps for so long! Thanks.

I noticed while looking for a vermillion-ish colour in the key, that the key should probably use more smoothed colours - perhaps a triangle with linear interpolation (barycentric interpolation) of colours between the vertices. Would be interesting to see this map on top of a street layer as well! nik Beautiful image Tom.
