Just a slight mistake. You start your art with a pre tag, which is good,
but you immediatly follow it with a /font tag, which is bad, because it
seems to close the fixed-width font you opened with pre, and continue in
the usual, proportional, font. Here's an example (I hope your newsreader
doesn't interpret this as html):

wrong:
<PRE>
                             </FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00FF">,v.

right:
<PRE>
                             <FONT COLOR="#FF00FF">,v.

I removed the additional /font tags for you, and put it on
  http://fmf.ml.org/~shimrod/asciiart/colour1.html

It looks fine in netscape 4.x (the old one didn't)
