    Robert Mackie Balmoral

    I'm thinking of buying a Mackie balmoral. Is the one pictured below lovat blue or lovat green? I've seen it labeled both ways.

    Thanks!

    Looks like bottle green to me... I have one just like it.

    The color is more obvious on the diced version:

    The bonnet in your post is described on the J. Higgins site as "Balmoral Plain Robert Mackie (Special Mix & Match Colors)" https://www.jhiggins.net/balmoral-pl...-match-colors/
    It differs from both the loval blue and lovat green Robert Mackie bonnets on their site, which are at the following links:

    I checked with JHiggins.net and you are correct, Shaun. This one is bottle green.
