Color of the Year

I burst out laughing for a good while when I saw this 2005 "color." What a marvelous sense of humor!

I know! I know!

BEC = Bakelite, extra crispy.

OK I've figured this out. It's going to be a "special deep red colour" based on a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC).

Man, I've got way too much time on my hands...

Maybe it's not a colour at all.
It could stand for Best Ever Colour!

If you right click on the ever-changing image,(which for now is BPE), then click properties, it comes up "Multiglo"

I really hope that it's BlueBurst, especially Blue Burst Reverse. I'm very much in the market for a new 360-12 (Maybe a 370-12, that's what I really want to do Byrds stuff), and I would order one in BlueBurst in a heartbeat.

It's about time for a BlueBurst (or PurpleBurst)!

I had a purple burst Kustom that was very Ric like in appearance. They called it wineburst and it is and unusual color.

How about like the Mark Hudson one-off? Although I would love an Azure-burst myself...

The Hudson purpleburst is fantastic! I thought I read somewhere that they did a one-off 4005 with the same finish for him as well. Anyone recall that at all? As far as the 2005 colour goes, I really hope that RIC comes out with something totally unconventional this year.
