Have I Gone Colorblind?

#1

Post by The Deacon »

I'm old, and my eyes aren't what they use to be, but in what alternate universe is this jacket GREEN? :confused:

Color looks exactly the same in their printed catalog as on my monitor, so am sure it's not my computer settings.

Yep, Olight's idea of "desert tan" is pretty far off. I have a Baldr Mini laser weapon lights in it and it's several shades darker brown than the "flat dark earth" Sig Emperor Scorpion I have it mounted on. But at least it's somewhere in the brown family. :D

I picked up a Baldr Mini for my HK45 recently, but I agree with Olight that it's gunmetal grey.

I was taking a look at the listing for the puffer jacket. I used to have a Vietnam-era M-1945 sleeping bag that was about the same color as their fatigue green (i.e., not green at all). LL Bean also an interesting interpretation of 'light hickory'...more like red cedar.

I own that light, it’s quite awesome but it’s not desert tan. On my screen at least, it looks just like it does in reality.
I would call it bronze or burnt bronze. You could find about a thousand online gun dealers that sell AR accessories who would call this color bronze / burnt bronze as well.
