Thanks Amy ,
I'm sure it's just my new "View Sonic" colour monitor being out of
adjustment .
Others have emailed me saying that it looked very Leaf Green . To tell you

I'm envious of you . My Bugeye is many months away from final paint . BTW my
wife loves Leaf Green . She wants the Sprite that colour . I'm partial to
BRG :-)
Cheers ,
Mark Hanna
