Hi Jon,

Since I have a couple of these, I can answer. With the backlight off, it
looks grey, but it's ever so slightly grey-green to my eyes. When I put it
next to the standard green screen though, it's plainly not green.

I stress "to my eyes" because colour is such a subjective thing. (I'm still
having a "discussion" with someone who -- years ago -- tried to convince me
that tennis balls such as they use at Wimbledon are green not yellow. I
expect he'll never give up.)

I got mine done for me by Frank (Gruendel), as I think I mentioned in my
first post to this thread. But IIRC he got them somewhere else.

 
Shalom.
Christian
