One of my favourite Lichens

I know practically nothing about Lichens, but I did recognize this pale green and orange one. I always enjoy seeing this species and it's fun to photograph (though not in the extremely powerful winds that were blowing the whole time we were at Red Rock Coulee, and elsewhere, in SE Alberta). Taken on Monday, 23 September 2013, when we called in at this location for a second time, this time climbing down into one of the coulees, on the final day of our four-day road trip. Comparing to other photos, I wonder if this is Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca? I don't know what the black and the dark brown Lichens are. ID, thanks to specialist Janet Marsh: Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca.
