It was Pete Hall, not Gary Ray, who did the CNW Yellow experiment.<br /><br />I deliberately did not show a "test panel" for the new Tru-Color Paint items, because I was sent preliminary samples to evaluate. Until there are final, production versions of each color, I would rather not make a comparison.<br /><br />It is hard to judge the King City depot via photos because so much depends on lighting conditions. The yellow does look pale in these photos, but I will have to stop off there and look for myself, drift panels in hand. When I do, I will report back.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-57434963170216381122013-02-09T13:53:27.992-08:002013-02-09T13:53:27.992-08:00Thanks, Tony for working on this important subject...Thanks, Tony for working on this important subject. And thanks Gary for providing some examples of your experiments. I would've never guessed that CNW yellow would be close to Colonial Yellow.<br /><br />The TC colors look very good, but sce colors seen on a computer screen are often WAY off from "reality", I'm going to have to check them out in-person.<br /><br />I have my own photos and memory of quite a few SoCal SP structures from the 70s-90s. I wish I had taken samples. I recall the SLO freight house being more a mustard-y yellow circa 1990 while other locations were usually less saturated / more faded.<br /><br />Have you seen the King City depot that has been moved to the County Park? If so, what is your opinion of the colors?<br /><br />http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80998212/King_City/King_City_Depot_1.JPG<br /><br />http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80998212/King_City/King_City_Depot_2.JPG<br /><br />Robert SimpsonRob Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877325056191527508noreply@blogger.com
