There is NO stayfast color that is an exact match, you will have to choose (to your eye) the lesser of evils. Perhaps the two attached photos will help you as to the "Green hue" of the true original stayfast color (with David's blessing, hoepfully) IF you look at the two attached photos of these extraordinary restorations you will see how the top material has a "greenish/olive"y" hue to the appearance. Especially the 37 picture

THANK YOU! Ah,,,,,, I "see" now sez the blind man! What confused me was, I didn't see any "olive" hue in David's pictures! David's pictures the top looks Oyster with a similar backing, or Tan(ish) with a similar color backing.

David told me that Stayfast makes the closest '32 top material. Fine and dandy. Go into Stayfast's site, see two colors that (looks) are similar to David's pictures. Ask (post) a seemingly simple question, which one is the correct color,,,,,,,,,,? Then all hell breaks loose! Like I cussed out the Pope or something.

Most of the rainbow colors are then mentioned further confusing, "now what!?" David mentions a "Dark Beige" Stayfast doesn't offer a "Dark Beige"! Very flustrating and confusing, when one is told about Stayfast, then told a color they don't offer!? Stayfast offers a plain Beige with a BLACK backing. Nothing is David's books shows a dark or black backing.

Didn't know you needed David's,,,,,, blessing (!?) to explain (in detail) what this "olive" hue was. Thank you again for your detailed explaination!

Now if someone can tell me the meaning of the "Red and Blue" top colors comment.

I am going to surmise that David's comment, "Not a Oyster in sight." Means that the Oyster with tan backing color isn't the correct colored top? So that leaves the Tan w/tan backing must be the correct choice? Or,,,,,, are you guys privy to a color Stayfast makes that isn't listed,,,,,,, that is being mentioned?
