Hmmm.

Assuming that your cells pattern has a pigment_map associated with it ...

Why don't you change the definition of the pigments in the map by interpolating
between two rgb values per map entry?

Probably best to do this around the HSV wheel, rather than directly in
rgb-space, otherwise you usually cross through a gray-region....
