E94 Background Color Question

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I've been cataloguing some E94's and I have a question about the background colors (and I checked the net54 archive, but without any luck):<br /><br />I have three greens, and one is light green, one dark green, and the other olive. In my description I referred to all of them as olive, but there are clearly three distinct colors.<br /><br />What's the most accurate way to handle this? Thank you.

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>Hi Barry,<br /><br />You should be able to classify the E94s as either Olive or Green. There are two distinct green colors, but not three.<br />I'd be curious to see the lighter one though.<br /><br />Rob

Posted By: <b>Marc S.</b><p>gold, olive, green -- but does the scan accurately reflect their colors, Barry?<br /><br />M

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>It is accurate, and I have a gold Patsy Dougherty that is distinctly different from the Magee. Are all the experts in agreement that the Magee is gold, as I am editing my auction catalog and want it to be correct?

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>Hmm, it's definitely a different shade, but I think it was supposed to be gold. I guess it could be the darker green missing a color part, but most likely a darker gold.<br /><br />Good question though Barry. Nice cards by the way!! <br /><br />I want my e94s back.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Two for gold...my eyesight isn't the greatest, so this helps. Do the two golds look different to you?

Posted By: <b>paulstratton</b><p>I vote gold as well.

Posted By: <b>Tony Andrea</b><p>Although my vote is to classify it as a gold variation it does in fact look different<br />so your eyesight isn't playing tricks on you thats for sure. I have seen other E94's in <br />holders labeled gold with this same color though.<br /><br />Tony <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p><br />Magee looks much, much closer to Dougherty than the other two. I say gold.

Posted By: <b>Marc S.</b><p>would it be inappropriate to market the Magee like a fine wine?<br /><br />"Goldish hue, with oliver undertone....tastes like clean dirt"<br /><br />Gold -- but I agree that it looks more olive than a 'typical' gold example.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I like that Mark. Well, enough feel it is gold, and while there is a shade of difference I tend to agree. I thank everyone, and will make the appropriate edits. I'll also see if others offer opinions during the day.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Leon- your golds are almost bright yellow; my golds are yellow/green. There clearly are shades.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Hi Brian!<br />Yes gold. <br />The colors in the E94 set are gold, olive, green, blue, red, violet and the scarce orange. The Magee is definitely gold.

These color problems are linked to the X chromosome and are almost always passed from a mother to her son. <br /><br />The symptoms of color blindness are dependent on several factors, such as whether the problem is congenital, acquired, partial, or complete. <br /><br /><B>Difficulty distinguishing reds and <U>greens</U> (most common)</B> <br /><br />Difficulty distinguishing blues and greens (less common)<br /><br /><br /><br />maybe at the next get together instead of playing "duck, duck, goose" a fun game of "green, green, olive" would be more appropriate ......... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />
