Are we sure the Balmoral in the illustration is black? I was always under the impression that it was a dark/navy blue. I had considered that perhaps there was fading of the colours in the print, but his shoes are clearly black while his bonnet and tie appear (to me) to be purposely shown as dark blue.

That's an interesting dicing pattern; I've been thinking of getting a diced Balmoral but am having trouble choosing between dicing options. This just adds another choice to further complicate matters!

Yes it's a Navy Blue bonnet with St Andrews Blue dicing. (Or whatever Mackie calls that colour- Saxony blue? Royal blue?)

Here's a Mackie entirely of that colour

The reason I want that dicing is I'm of Stewart ancestry, and that dicing appears on the heraldry of numerous Stewart branches:

It's what Mackie calls royal blue.

Thanks!

Just checked the Mackie site, they have Royal Blue and Saxe Blue...not sure which I ought to go with for the dicing.

I have a bonnet with saxe blue and white dice. The crown is black, though. I rather like it. When you decide to get your bonnet, let me know if you have any trouble getting what you want. I can contact Mackie directly as I have an account with them.
