Well, here are the recolored Mephits. I'm afraid they didn't turn out quite as good as the Golems because the original animation had a more limited color palette. Also, some of them may still look alike, but that's because I used the descriptions and illustrations from the Planescape Monstrous Compendium, and some of the Mephits are actually very similar, even in
PnP.
Recolored Mephits
Top row, from left to right: Mist, Air, Fire, Magma, Ice, Lightning, Earth.
Bottom row, from left to right: Steam, Ooze, Salt, Mineral, Radiant, Smoke, Dust.
BTW, if anyone's interested, I'm using opcodes #51 and #52 for the recoloring. The code is fairly simple once you get the proper RGB values.
