Unfortunately, the babys look like negative babys when I have them bright.
I might throw together a version with the colours you suggest, but I'm sure
there will be several iterations before the final colour scheme is chosen.

Not that difficult. I plan to prevent overlap altogether by having the
babys bump against each other and recoil - or at least stop moving - when
they are close to each other. To get to the other side, you need to go over
or under. So overlap will be kept to a bare minimum - usually when moves
are actually happening.
