The color come across as peach on my screen. Is that correct or is it actually pink?

It is listed as Salmon, unfortunately I couldn't quite capture the color as it is.
I have tried again with some outdoor photos, haven't looked at those yet to see how they came out.

Even, that you could not capture the color as it is I like it better then in the brochure

It's closer to salmon in person but hard to describe. I really like the model and its colors.
I had some doubts when I heard what it would be but the color combo works. We had one at the show in March...way back when people could go to shows and other things. Remember those days?

John, your photos are always great. Thanks for the work you put into them.
I've found black or white poster board works well as a background for hard to decipher colors. It does a bit less to confuse the meters on the camera. I just lay the poster board flat on a table then prop up the back half with something. Voila! You have a seamless backstop.

I do have white backgrounds I use from time-to-time. My current outside shots are not much different, but I am still going to compare with the actual model. I will try the white background next. Thanks for the tips John, I appreciate it.
