A (off) color question ??
 

I recently received my long-awaited copy of "The Canadian Soldier" by Jean Bouchery. I am finding it to be very informative and a pure joy to browse through.

My question concerns the "accuracy" or trueness of the color reproductions. I own several pieces of Canadian-manufacturerd web gear, and the color of this gear in the photos is very close to those pieces I own. With that in mind, I am wondering hw "true" the other colors are, especially the colors of Canadian manufactured battle dress, overcoats, and other clothing items.

I probably should address the question on Michael Dorosh's web site, but then the readers of these fora are accustomed to, and very tolerant of my nattering.

Actually, not to push you away or anything, that `other' forum had a big discussion on this subject about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I think that the conclusion was that the uniforms were off colour-wise.

Very Greenish
 

Bob,

I think that you are correct in your off colour descriptions - somebody "fixed" the colours a bit "off". I see that a few of the uniforms - a tanker at Dieppe - looks OK, but the rest - way too green.

Speaking of military stuff near your neck of the woods - did you attend the Alan Coors Museum Open House last weekend? I was down there for work ( in Aberdeen, MD ) and slipped in - WOW.

You have never seen such a display. I hope to have pix soon to show to the forum.


Regards,


Stewart
