bluish or classic?

Post by albero78 »

Hi all.

In your opinion these pieces are the classic (old)gray or the bluish (new) gray?

Is it a colour photograph? Because it looks more like a B/W, in which case they might not even be gray.

If it's genuinely a colour photo, then there's more shades of grey there, definitely must be a mix of old and new light grey, and dark grey.

I agree with you: it seems a mix of old and new light grey and old dark grey.

Anyone else?

I'm 100% certain that there are Old Dark Gray and Dark Bluish Gray elements there. For example, the top-most dark elements are surely the old colour, whereas the long 2xX plate partially buried in the bottom left corner is dark bluish gray.

I'm not sure about the light grays, though.

I'd say all 4 greys (dark and light grey, both old and new) are in there. The dark greys are easily distinguished.

The 1x3 slope near the bottom middle looks like old light grey since it's more yellow than some of the other light grey bricks, especially the 1x4 and 2x2 brick in the bottom left. Of course, it could be a trick of the lighting though...

Yep, looks like a mix to me too.
