January Calendar Picture
We placed our order for a 5.0TA in January, and just received our 2017 Escape calendar. The pictures are all beautiful. I am not a great photographer, but I am sure motivated to submit pictures so I can continue to get calendars.
The January picture could help us decide the color for our graphics. We like the color pf the graphics on the trailer in the picture, but can't tell if it is Yellow Green, Forest Green or Dark Green. We looked in the member list for C. Wilson, who submitted the picture, but could not find them.
Does anyone know the name of the color of the graphics, or how to contact C. Wilson?

I'd ask ETI. I'm sure they have decent enough records that they'd be able to pull up his/her order and tell ya. Unless, of course, they're not the original owners.

I doubt ETI will provide private information regarding any customer.
And, in any event, if you can't tell from looking at the picture if it is "Yellow Green" or "Dark Green", then how would it help to know the colour description?
My point many, many posts ago, is that you can't make a decision based on what you see in a monitor or even from a print. There are too many variables.
You could go to a paint store and ask to look over their colour book. Or go to an art store and buy a Pantone book. Then you will know what you are looking at and will be able to describe it in industry terms.

I just wish that someone would scan all the calendar pics so those of us who no longer get a calendar can see whose pics are featured.

I meant that they would tell him what color graphics they got.

Maybe. But, what's the point if you can't tell from the picture if it is yellow green or dark green?

What I can't do is correlate the color in the picture with the color samples ETI sent me.
I like the color in the context of the calendar picture, but don't know what to call it.
That's the help I was looking for.

This is very true. Unless the photo is first edited on a colour calibrated monitor, and then viewed on another colour calibrated monitor, with no loss of image quality due to where it is posted, there is very little chance of the colour being true.
As mentioned before, I highly recommend getting the Avery supplied colour charts, that have true vinyl colour samples in them. If you see something you like and would like to see it bigger, they get a larger sample of that colour.

I just contacted Avery, and they sent me one. I have one I don't need anymore I could send out too.

Thanks!
I'll try Avery first, and if that doesn't work I'll send you a PM.l

Maybe all of us who have a picture on the calendar can post our pictures and state what month it is.
Ours is on the back cover:

Karen, I wondered that same thing. Maybe I was CRAB-by from a long day's dusty tow? Warning to neighbors?

I'll be interested to hear how well it works for you. Sure seemed to keep our batteries in great shape. Yours will have some new features my older model doesn't.
