 | | TAN castle walls? It CAN'T be! But what IS it? —David Eaton
|
| | | Check this out-- looks like TAN castle wall sections! (URL) say they were a yellowed white, but white castle walls didn't come with those brick patterns! Could it be some bizarre lighting that's making them tan? But there's another set for auction (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | I believe they were printed in white, though the stone patterns were in red not grey. I have to admit they look tanish white to me on my screen also. I'm guessing they have to be grey and it's just a bad bad picture. I'd mail the seller if you (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

I wasn't going to place a bid, unless I KNOW they ARE tan (And I'm 99.98612% sure they're not)... but I am REALLY curious-- mostly because it doesn't look like they're grey in any way, shape, or form! Usually a bad picture just looks (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) I don't really see the issue here. In my mind they are gray. The only strange thing I see is that the person used a flash to take the picture and the effect made the pieces in the front look tanish. That in my mind is only because they were in (...)

Would a single, relatively small flashbulb cause such an even distortion of color? I'm asking at face value; I (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Another point when I have tried using a flash I took a picture of a Gray wall and the entire wall took on a color (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

I don't think white walls were EVER offered with those patters, black is out of the question (I'd say), dark grey wall sections never had ANY patters that I'm aware of, and red (...)

I notice they don't bother to have a text listing of what walls (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
