YES!!!!  The color from True Color 
was done from the Q societies paint 
chips. As has been discussed in the 
past...when photographed in bright 
sunlight the color is very lite. 
This is because of an additive in 
the paint and slight over exposure. 
If you look at pics in the books 
that are in the snow, the gray 
color is there. John Lee can 
comment on the Badger color. Those 
comments should be in the archives 
of this list. There will never be 
agreement on the color that 
satisfies everyone. All 28 of my 
F's are done with the Badger
