   Except that Harry Lime and NancyGene can't be trusted to give an honest answer.

   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.   
      
   It's probably faded over 50 years, true.   
      
   But the color was and is a pale blue.   
      
   > We have a brand-new HP monitor.  The colors are exact and true on it.  The   
   cover on Pegasus is gray/tan.   
      
   You're mistaken, NG.   
      
   The color of the 1976 edition of Pegasus is light blue.
