other Haeckel Sphere variations
Here are some other coloring schemes which didn't seem noteworthy enough to warrant including in either of the sets that I curated. See Haeckel Sphere Set #1 and Haeckel Sphere Set #2 for my favorite variations.

this is perhaps the easiest version out of them all, because it helps you see each individual piece as its own solid color.
12 dissimilar pieces, each one a different solid color.
There is no color symmetry possible with this puzzle. The only variations you can do are deciding which colors to put next to each other.

This is very similar to, but slightly easier than the 5-color version
12 dissimilar pieces with a logical coloring system.
There are chiral pairs possible for each of the 5 symmetrical solutions, so that make 10 solutions total.
