Colour (Color)

[Mike Harris-9]

G'day,

I say it's green, XYL says it's grey!  What colour is the K2 by popular
opinion?

It's mostly grey, but to me there is a hint of brown too.

As expected, and according to the Law Of The Universe, the wife is correct.

Sigh...
As presented to all men before their wedding day:
Law 1: the wife is always correct
Law 2: When in doubt, refer to law 1...

Back to the original topic, I believe the technically correct name of
the color is "Granite.'"
I am sure Wayne spent a lot of time finding _exactly_ the color he
wanted. He chose
well.

For most folks, Grey will do...

I thought there is an FCC reg that requires rigs to be gray.

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...

OK Gentlemen,

It looks like the sisterhood has it.  

| As presented to all men before their wedding day:
| Law 1: the wife is always correct
| Law 2: When in doubt, refer to law 1...

The lady director of the company I work for says there is a third law:

Law 3.  All husbands should know their place - in the wrong

| the color is "Granite.'"

Granite does it for me.

Many thanks for your thoughts and observations.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

Silly me. I thought "granite" was a type of rock, not a color...

And I've seen brownish granite, greenish granite and gray granite...
