Title: Crate and Barrel - Dark Blue
Post by: jwc on April 19, 2014, 12:24:36 PM: Most of you know it's not dark blue. It's a mix between blue and purple. Some have said indigo, purple, periwinkle, blue, etc. I would say those would describe it pretty well. I was looking for a new kettle having moved from a OTG to a Weber Genesis now back to a performer. There weren't many pictures of this kettle in its natural environment - the deck. So here goes. I will take more pics at different times of the day. Several pics here are from the morning and several are 4pm full sun.

Hopefully this will help someone else wanting to know what this kettle looks like.

Morning 10am

Post by: mirkwood on April 19, 2014, 01:46:14 PM: Looks like the same beautiful dark blue as my 2010 performer. I think under certain artificial light sources it brings out different shades
of blue / purple.

Post by: OGlenn on April 19, 2014, 10:24:13 PM: That appears to be the same blue as my AT ('13) OTG. Others have mentioned that blue has been fairly inconsistent tint for Weber all along.

Post by: jwc on April 20, 2014, 04:21:47 AM: No complaints here. First meal cooked on the kettle was hot dogs for my son's. :)

Followed by grilled cod for my wife and I
