Thanks for the good comments all. The red is nicely faded but the blue is so dark that indoors, in the evening, it looks like a Coke. The blue pigment must be a lot stronger. For the record it's a late A serial, with solids.

Cheers Dave, hope you're enjoying the southern summer downunder. Only 8 degrees C. in HK today so was able to take the Pepsi out in appropriate flying jacket and gloves. A rare day indeed.
