Forgive my intrusion to this thread, I was once a regular on a forum about Indiana Jones gear and one of the biggest issues discussed in that forum (and for “biggest” I mean that there was actual fights, down to verbal abuse, as you know it happens in forums) was about the correct color of Indy’s “grey hat”. I’m talking about the hat that Ford wears when he boards the clipper plane. For a long time some people said it was just the same hat, just in a different light, the other (honestly larger) faction was convinced that it was a proper grey hat.
It has long been confirmed that it was indeed a grey hat in that scene (and it’s the same hat that one of the nazi spies wears in the Cairo chase), still, it would be nice to see that hat in a “color-corrected” scene.

Oh, and if it can be of any interest, I do own the same cigar box that you see in Marion’s bar in Nepal, however, due to different lighting on the set and color correction in post production it’s hard to use these props as reference even if you own one with the same colors.
