Hi Every-One:
I like this whole subject on “What color is it”. I have followed this vary subject though different treads in the last couple of years. There have been some very heated exchanges because of the different schools of thoughts. So to identify the exact color one must know what type of film that was use. If we don’t know then it’s open to interpretation
If I can paraphrase, there seems to be two different film stocks used during that time, monochromatic and panchromatic (I hope this is correct) and depending on which type of stock is used could give different looking results on the color tones.
This is an example from Mr. Flibbes from another thread on the two different types of films.

As an Ammeter researcher I would love to know more on color identification of b/w photos. I would like to see either a tread dedicated to this study or one of you write an article and post it here or in C&C and OTF. A complete study of this could help us all and take the sting out of this subject.
I would like to one day have the knowledge of many of our Experts here. To pass this along to the new researcher would be of the benefit of us all.
I would like to here your input in this…
Lloyd…
