Actually, what I have is a scan of a good reference print, so there's no guarantee that it is perfectly correct. But yeah, memories are the worst reference, plus it sounds like they just watched a part of my sources documentary (thrice re-compressed, if they watched it on youtube) and his dad just made some off hand comments.

To be honest, it's starting to make me physicaly ill to keep going in circles discussing the colors in Despecialized - I'm the first to admit that they are by no means perfectly accurate but they do look much better than the official BD. Can't we just leave it at that? If I ever do anothwr version, I'll be starting completely from scratch anyway, so there's no real constructive point in discussing the colors in the current one to death.
