I haven't been to PdL so I haven't seen the place where Smithman was seen. Those who were there seemed to be able to tell the difference between blond and brown, however.
Colour would depend on the sort of light that was around, when each of the Smiths saw the man. According to where they were, they would see anything from no colour to sickly yellow colour to
possibly more or less real colour. The moon had just risen IIRC, but I doubt that it would be high enough to illuminate Rua d'Escola much
- Sodium lamps would cast a sickly yellow hue with just shades otherwise … NO colour at all, apart from the yellow
- Moonlight is monochromatic (no colour shows, just shades)
- Most car head lamps are Monochromatic as well, so no colour from them in Rua Abril 26. I understand that certain vehicles like Land Rovers do give out light that shows colour..
- Most normal house lights shining out would give colour, but I don't see many windows in the Smith sighting places
- But the mighty lamp above Aoife ? I wonder exactly what sort of light that gave?
And are we right in thinking that the street lamps in Rua d'Escola and Rua Abril 26th are actually sodium ? cos it makes a hell of a lot of difference if they are not.
