goonieman Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1436044679' post='2814594'] My two grandmothers died, one in 1957 and one in 1972. I don't recall any porcelain dolls. [/quote] Well, yours grandmothers had better taste than my mine. ...and now that you've posted a pic of that oldsmobile I think I may be on the way to recovery to appreciating burgundy mist. Who would have thought. Again, its all about context. If I can UNDERSTAND the colour, I can love the colour. That red above is the wrong side of candy apple red. It is not nice.

RhysP Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 [quote name='Bloodaxe' timestamp='1436035648' post='2814532'] Depends on the blue. This is just bluegh IMO. [/quote] I love the colour - what spoils it for me is the horrible natural wood stripe up the centre. It would look so much better if it was blue all over IMO. Quote
Rich Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I like that bluegh Aria, yes even with the stripe. In fact I'd like it less if it was solid colour. For some reason it reminds me of a Ford GT40. Quote
EssentialTension Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) My preferred blue would be sonic blue as on this 1956 Cadillac Coupe ... Edited July 4, 2015 by EssentialTension Quote

Actually I know nothing about cars, I just like the colours. Some people say I know nothing about bass too. Edited July 5, 2015 by EssentialTension Quote

That is borne out by the fact that millions of people still buy telecasters, if you make it ugly enough they will come. Quote

I'm surprised no one quoted this colour - although to be fair it has taken on somewhat of a cult status so is quite sought after - like peach, it was a colour quickly dropped and is thus quite rare - variously referred to as a Heinz condiment colour or akin to used nappy colour!! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=musicman+trans+green+heinz&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=XjuZVbnCGrOO7AbL3bq4Aw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=320&bih=372#imgrc=JJ2JptI9uUbHQM%3A Edited July 5, 2015 by drTStingray Quote
