I know that the article (and DYK text) are more-or-less sourced to a reliable source, but it just can't be correct. She can't have contributed much to Destination Moon, since that story appeared between 1950 and 1952, and she only started working for Hergé somewhere in 1953. Most of Hergés work was recoloured by then anyway (she apparently did the last two, Cigars and Black Island third version), so to claim that she "created" the distinct color scheme is a bit of a stretch, to say the least. Can anyone shed some light on this and perhaps find some pre-obituary sources, like in the many Hergé biographies and Tintin-related books? She played an important background role, but I'ld prefer our article to be more correct than this.
