HALLOWEEN (1978) COVERALLS MATCH

See, if I didn’t know any better I’d say they are Tex green. They definitely fit the gray/green/blue description we hear about so often.

But I do know better.

They are in fact Charcoal.

However, when you put them side by side with a pair of Tex and Navy you quickly realize how little green and blue they actually have in them.

Charcoal is very much a flat grey color when you have something to compare it to.

This is Tex on the left and Charcoal on the right.


This is what Tex, Charcoal, and Navy Tradewears look like side by side.

To me, the Charcoal are simply too gray to fit the bill. They certainly play color tricks in various light and look the part when photographed under certain condotions, but when you line them up, to me it’s pretty clear which color we see in the film.

I’m happy to take more photos of the different colors if people want to see them.

The coolest part, to me, is seeing the Tex look more gray when you eliminate the Charcoal ones from the picture.

This is Tex by itself and Tex and Charcoal togather.

@theHEDGE i was gonna guess charcoal because i noticed they were the h2 style tradewear and you wanted to be tricky! Great pics of the color comparison though!

My guess is your charcoal suit is from 76-78

Wow!

It’s tricky ! But yeah next to the tex green the charcoal looks WAY too gray!

So I have still absolutely zero doubt about the fact that Tex-Green IS the color.

Tex green looks more charcoal than the charcoal :joy:

That’s very true like you said the charcoal is too gray.
charcoal usually has a blue hue to it, and I’m also
positive that the color is tex green. The colors almost need to be relabeled😆

Hey man! No editing , in front of the same window, look how the text green looks blue next to the olive color of the jungle boots vs how green they appear in front of my blue couch!

Tex green is one of the weirdest colors ive ever seen. I’ve never seen anything that changes so much depending on the lighting and surroundings
