[StartQuote] Colour(s)? I think that there are far too many variables present to be able to state precisely what any colour was or how it appeared at any given time. I built a wood frame Caribou Innuit kayak once and covered it with sewn together bedsheets which I then waterproofed by painting it with Brick Red paint. Once I had it down by the beach to take pictures of it. I took a picture of it from the bow and 15 seconds later I took another one from the stern. This boat was 24 feet long. The image from the bow showed a brick red colour but the shot from the stern showed the kayak as eing a deep brown colour. Like I said it was no more than 15 seconds between pictures. One had the sun behing and the other was more towards the sun. Also, time of day can greatly affect the colour of an image. Certain tims of the day have more yellow in them. I have pictures, I took of a model modelling a black leather pantsuit, that I took late on an October afternoon. The leather too appeared to be a very deep brown colour not black. Yet earlier that same afternoon (about 3/4 hour previously) those same black leather items appeared to be deep blue. So many variables including fading of the paint and whether the paint is wet, damp or dry can cause dramatic colour shifts. I think the best we can hope for is to get something within the ball park. Cheers and MERRY CHRISTMAS! "Give me a fast boat for we want to get out of harm's way too."[EndQuote]
