Colour please, for my lovely grt grandad
« on: Sunday 29 October 06 01:46 GMT (UK) »
I have this lovely military photo that I've been trying to color up myself, but I have zero talent (not to mention patience). It took me 2 hours just to figure out how to color his sleeve and I couldn't get the red the right shade, he looks like a candy apple.

I'm pretty sure the jacket is deep red, the buttons and trim are gold and the sash is white. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine!
