As seen in this illustration from the 1930s

Are we sure the Balmoral in the illustration is black? I was always under the impression that it was a dark/navy blue. I had considered that perhaps there was fading of the colours in the print, but his shoes are clearly black while his bonnet and tie appear (to me) to be purposely shown as dark blue.
