Hi Jonathan,

Good lucky find!
I never had seen before this pic, as you have just said it there is in background the S.S Olympic and one can see it true color of the funnels!!!!

In looking at the Olympic picture I've very please that it falls within the range of my WSB color (funnel pics #3).The actual color of my WSB is #1 which is the closest of the pics to what my WSB looks like and funnel pics #2-#5 are pics taken of my WSB funnel under different lighting conditions.

Now let's say that I didn't post the pics of my WSB under different lighting conditions and only post funnel pic #2,many could say that my WSB is too yellow etc or if I had posted pics #5 some could say that my WSB is too orange.

Let's say that I painted a funnel the same shade as shown in pics #2,then took pictures under different lighting conditions,it would be more yellow and further away from the original color of my WSB #1.

Now if one were to paint a funnel in the same shade as seen in the Olympic picture,it would in pics taken under different lighting conditions appear more yellow in shade than it actually was. The question I have on the olympic picture is that is it too light? yes the distance and the lighting will affect how a color will come out, I believe that the actual color would be different if one were to view or had taken a picture up close and would most likely be darker in color than as shown.

I love it - turns out 'White Star Buff' is identical to 'Silly Putty' after all!

LOL Sorry, couldn't resist. All lighting, lenses, film and fading aside, I think this gives us enough evidence when combined with photos of ... say.... the 'Georgic' to choose a color that's as close as we're gonna get 100 years later. IMHO
