12c Land Rover Luggage

Post by Tinman »

I have a question about the 12c luggage molded in the second or newer color. Charlie Mack and Nick call it Tan color. It's not even close to a tan color it's Orange, maybe leaning towards burnt orange, but it's orange. However, it's no where near Tan (not even close unless it's being compared to Donald trumps orange spray on sun tan). At least Stannard comes closest by calling it Red-Brown (which is pretty much a shade of Orange). Nick, how about a correction to the guide for a better description of the color.

Here is a pic of the "tan" luggage sitting on top of the cap to a spray can of Orange spray paint. Yep, that's orange luggage, not tan.

Hello Joe, a very good match of colour you show, like many
errors or new variations, I do not think they will be altered
or corrected for a while if ever.

Looking at Joe's picture I would say it is more like a burnt orange than any shade of tan.

This is from the WriteWorld website.

It has a tan but no orange but is still interesting to see the shades of brown.

All I know is that if the wife said paint the bedroom tan and I painted it the color of this luggage: I would have wasted a gallon of paint, half a day and have to get my dinner down at the pub. The next day it would take two coats of paint to undo the job from the previous day :lol:
