Is it Orange or Pink?

Post by motorman »

I have just won a #8 SF Wildcat Dragster with an Orange baseplate. The listing stated the bodywork was pink and the image was a little unclear, so i emailed the seller asking for clarification as i had never seen a Pink wildcat with an orange baseplate. The seller emailed me back stating the body was pink so i thought what the hell lets see this pink dragster with orange base. (Unheard of as far as i know)

Well it arrived today and it is Orange with an orange base. It seems that the orange and Pink wildcats can look very similar in colour as this seller was convinced it was pink and not orange!! :lol:

That is often the problem with the orange/pink scenario. There are so many shades from one to another going through salmons that often one will look a little like another if placed next to a proper orange or pink. I often get the same with the Lamborghini Marzel. It is so difficult to describe a shade correctly.

:) :D :P
