I associate this more as "walnut" and Kira's as Autumnglo. Is that a poor assumption on my part?

Ilan, looks like a pretty beat FG to me.... what say the others?

Brian, the Walnut and Autumnglo are the same colors (with variations) - the walnut has a gloss finish and the autumnglo has a matte finish.

I understood it that the only difference between autumnglo and walnut is that autumnglo has a matte finish and walnut has a gloss finish.

It's kind of an oxy-moron since the "glo" at the end of the color stands for glossy.

It looks like a nice warm walnut, based on the more neutrally lit photos. The fireglo-ish pics were likely taken under incandescent light with no balancing filter. Shuuur is purrrrrty.
