And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As someone who was quite fond of constructing model aircraft when I was very young, I can attest that the third option is absolutely 100% dead-on-balls accurate!
Didja know the mil spec for olive drab allows for black, near every shade of brown, tan, green from forest green to yellow green?
I owned a WWII liason aircraft plus worked at a military museum. I learned such arcane facts. Another is light blue was the original color of insignia on WWII US Army vehicles.
The version of that that I *have* seen before has the woman on the left side of the left-hand palette (with all the multitudes of color names) and a man on the right (with the sane number of color names). No second palette at all.
Tell me about it. Building models has become a real pain because a person can't find the colors they need to be accurate, and if he can, it's too friggin' expensive.
Judging by the current TV adverts it must be an old graphic since there's no African-American pointing at a Black is Beautiful chart or Gay pointing at a rainbow flag.
I’d like to see a representation of the difference between what women and men see. It’s been documented that women see more colors than men. Due to having more “cones” than “rods” compared to men.

ReplyDeleteAs the wife of a lifelong model-builder, this is correct.

Pfffttt... check out the variations & discussions about the "correct" shade of Dunkelgelb. The German dark yellow used as an armor color from 1943-45.
