instrument color?

Greetings all!
Help please-just received TC 6391 instruments back from a restoration shop
and the face color is a light pearl grey. TC 2937 and TB0437 and so does TD
8447 have instruments that are a silver metallic with a green tint to the
face color and every other T Type instrument that I have seen has that
appearance.
Before I question these folks, need some confirmation of my opinion or is my
vintage mind in the middle of Lake Michigan?
Cheers!
Bill Hentzen

I would describe my Arnolt as having light pearl grey, Bill......the TA is
definitely green tint done by John Marks. I don't know who did the Arnolt
instruments........but if you had a real car, they would be brown faced!!

Bill:
T type instruments came in several variations of green all the way to light
blue, and shades in between. The person that did yours, picked a neutral
color in between. That way all of her stuff will be easy to match. There
was no exact color from the factory.
