The color is grey and it may have a touch of green in it. Where do you draw the line, even using a densitometer? The perception of some colors depends upon the color temperature of the light reflecting off of it. Some lights are redder, some bluer. It does make a difference. Have you ever been tested for color blindness or color deficiency? Women carry the gene but aren't affected by it. Men are.

Re: [Elecraft] Colour (Color)
I definitely think it's grey. I don't think there is a touch of green in it at all.. but that is my opinion. A densitometer would probably answer that question. I have one here, perhaps I can bring the K2 into work and check it out?! I wonder if anyone out there has customized their k2 cases and changed their color? Interesting thought... ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

The same issue came up when the Pennsylvania Railroad painted their GG-1 locomotives Brunswick Green. Allegedly the mix was one drop of green paint to one gallon of black. There's also the recipe for a very dry martini where the bartender simply looks at the bottle of vermouth while pouring the gin (or is it the other way around?) The straight answer: It's gray. A very nice shade of gray, not too light, not too dark, not too glossy, not too flat. 73 de Jim, shaken, not stirred N2EY ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Colour (Color)
Don't forget that the color you see will depend upon the color of light illuminating it! This morning mine is definitely green with the sunlight blasting off of the lawn outside my window. In direct sky light it's gray (or grey)- brown, and in warm incandescent light in the evening the brown gives way to a nice shade of just gray, er grey...
