Hard not to choose bright colors. The biggest responsibility of the cover artist is to create a cover that impels the buyer to reach for the book and pick it off the bookstore shelf, as the first step towards a purchase. A cover that does that is a success, even if you later conclude it doesn't fit the book.

For me it was the other way. Chanur is at the bottom but still kind of fun and good since it is Cherryh.

Okay, fair enough. How much weight do the covers carry in that ranking?
