   I just looked and the Pegasus cover still looks light blue.

   different monitors.   
      
   Who here could we trust to give an honest answer?

   From here the Pegasus cover looks light blue.   
      
   > And what are the odds that NancyGene's monitor would be doing the same thing?   
      
   NancyGene can't be trusted to give an honest answer.   
      
   > When three monitors are showing the inside cover as blue and the outside as   
   off-white, the odds are that the image is actually off-white.   
      
   Neither you or NancyGene can he trusted to give an honest answer, though.   
      
   > But like I said, it could be off-white due to fading.  And it may even still   
   have some faint trace of blue in real life.  But the *image* you posted shows   
   it as being off-white... on three out of four monitors.   
      
   Possibly, but the fact remains that neither you or NancyGene are trustworthy   
   witnesses.   
      
   The scan looks light blue here.   
      
   If we the ad someone who is aneutral observer they could be trusted to say   
   what color the cover of Pegasus is.
