Arrow Does this look Beige to you?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=130139532664


I contacted this ebay seller regarding his pass. side visor that he states is beige, but I swear it looks gray in the photo. He says its definitely beige and that it must be the sun. To me, if this is the real photo of a beige sunvisor, than there must be something wrong or strange with his camera. Ive take many photos of beige parts, and they never came out looking gray. I need a beige pass. side sunvisor, but Im afraid this guy may be pulling our leg. Whats your take?

Same background as the dans_carparts pics. Lancaster, PA was used as a Vlad locale from what I remember. Same very poor English grammar and typing skills. Same failing miserably to describe the item clearly (and I'm sorry, but mint with no droop? I doubt it).

EDIT: Check this out.

Gray, huh? Dude is COLORBLIND.

EDIT: Went through dans_carparts. Meh, his wood isn't the same color. Why must everyone use a deck to take photos. Meh.

I once ordered a Beige sill. After opening it inside the house I found that they sent me a grey one. I sent it back and they sent me a new one, that one was grey too. I sent it back a second time and when the 3rd one arrived, it looked grey too. I was very annoyed, but I decided to bring it out to the car to see side by side how different the color was. When I looked at it outside in the sunlight, sure enough it was beige. I felt like an idiot.

Anyhow depending on the lighting conditions that beige can look pretty grey.

Beige or Gray?

Just performed a little experiment. Cut the photo from the e-bay ad, opened it in Photoshop. It was obviously taken in the shade (light from blue sky). I did a quick re-color balance to give it some of the effect of sunlight, and came up with this. Since I have not seen a true beige interior on an SVX, I don't know what actual color I'm looking for, but it could be a lot beigier than it appeared in his ad.

Ya, that second one looks purple-ish. I think buddy on ebay is just a tool/scammer.
