And here is a couple of pics of the three samples I got... I understand light, angle, camera, monitor will play tricks and you will not be able to see it the way I see it:
On the first two pics with direct sun light:
The RM sample is the one at the bottom, nice clean blue, but a little light. Very fine metallic particle.
The Standox newer formula, upper left, has a bit more grayish or even Golden tint, so the blue is not so bright, I coudl say it looks like dirty. It has very fine metallic particle.
The Standox older formula, upper right, shows more blueish and slightly purplish tint. It is really nice, and resembles what I remember... my only question is the metallic particles, as they are noticeable.
On the last pic, inside the shop, on shadow:
The RM is on the left, Standox new in the center, and Standox old at right.
That is how different the cameras capture them.
Anyhow, I guess my final question would be about metallic particle size. Was the original Baikal blue a color in which you could actually see the metallic particle (medium silver) or is it supposed to be a real flat and smooth metallic (very fine silver), the type of which you know they are metallic but cannot see the particles unless you really get way close?
