    Gray or Lvender

    I'm getting ready to have a 1966 Batman outfit made for a 8" figure but I'm a little torn between 2 colors for the jumpsuit.If I go with a lavender that would be the color of the outfit that he wore during filming(according to a TV Guide article)but if you look at it,it looks like a light gray.I have both color materials but I want it to look accurate and correct(I know I'm nit-picking)and once the outfit is made there's no turning back.I know in the long run it's my decision but I'd like to know any and everybodies opinion,so chime in.Thanks to everyone for your help and I'll post pictures with my choice after it's done.

        I say no gray, go with the original color. If you want it to be accurate...

            Has anybody made any Gay Blade customs? He wore a few different outfits.

              Gray. The cameras back then were not as color accurate, so sometimes the hues had to be adjusted for the camera. Go with how they wanted to present it.

                            What a question: grey of course. You want to look the cameras gave him, not what color outfit they had to make to make him look good

                              Of course grey, HOWEVER, I would go lavender just to be different. I am really curious how that's going to look!
