Why limit ourselves to a single color?
When we can make both camps happy!!!

A Dark-Gray 375/6075 speckled with

And for those who’d rather Tan…
How about a Tan and Brown mix to
infer a sense of timber construction!
(Now I'd buy this…at first I wasn’t to
thrilled about just Tan alone, but Tan and

How about, making the base-plates
for the Dary Gray/Gray/sand-Blue

Cause I'm really crusading to make
this concept visible to those responsible
for implementing such actions.
