No offense, but I don't know what peace is. Never felt what it's like.

I think your missing the point of the post there. The main point I think is that it really wont make any difference what colour it is as long as its close. Fretting over such a small thing is kind of silly imo. The point is, though, that Big Boss' bandana is green, so the whole black or gray thing is moot.

I think you're missing my point. I certainly don't care what someone picks for their Big Boss outfit, but to say that the bandanna that is the correct color is not as good, without offering an explanation, strikes me the wrong way because I'm a bit OCD when it comes to logic. Saying "I think the slate gray is better, because it fits my overall outfit more" would be acceptable, or saying "Because the OD green bandanna isn't to my personal liking as much" is fine too... But when presented with the same bandanna that Big Boss actually wears in MGS3, and saying that another color better represents it without offering any such explanation, no, that makes no sense whatsoever. It would be like me saying "I'm going to get a haircut like Snake, so I'm shaving my head. That is all." So once again, please explain.

Heavily-Armed Trooper Posts: 527 Group: Members Member #7,634 Joined: June 2, 2008 Favourite Metal Gear Title? Metal Gear Solid	Actually the official colour of Big Boss's bandanna in MGS3 is Teal. For example look at this image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/Teal_ribbon.svg/370px-Teal_ribbon.svg.png (A little too bright but it's still teal in colour) Anywho if you want the closest look go for either Olive Drab, Dark Slate Gray, Black or Navy Blue Even better get them all then you can switch it up depending on your mood.

Because, to be honest, that looks nothing at all like the his bandanna color. I suggest getting checked for proper color vision.

Here is a darker shade of Teal: http://www.hottubcovers.net/imgs/colors/color-teal-green.jpg Compare that to BB's bandanna here: http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/files/costumes/111/374/180px-Naked_Snake.jpg Akarou actually doesn't need to 'get checked for proper colour vision' after-all If I remember rightly, the MGS3 official strategy guide speaks of how Snake earns his 'Teal' bandanna from The Boss on the bridge of Dolinovodno.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater	Quote: He said that the colour of Big Boss bandanna is Teal. The colour, not its shade. I wonder if you realise that teal is a shade of green. Having a shade of a shade takes away the point of it being called a shade, tbh. There isn't a colour 'teal'. If you don't believe me, I could look up on a rainbow or something. I won't find the specific colour teal. Edited by kkarbo, Apr 15 2009, 02:53 AM.

If you don't believe me, I could look up on a rainbow or something. I won't find the specific colour teal. Technically, teal is a hue of the green spectrum, not a shade. And teal is in fact a colour. Just because it is not a particularly wide band of colour on a rainbow does not de-classify it as a colour. Instead of referring to colours with ambiguous nouns, I suggest that we refer to them as their RGB or HSL values. Edited by White Walrus, Apr 15 2009, 03:14 AM.

Also, games, T.V etc all use RGB not HSL.

VIC BOSS! VIC BOSS! Posts: 1,760 Group: Outer Heaven Member #10,144 Joined: September 10, 2008 Favourite Metal Gear Title? Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker	Btw guys, can I just point out. That the guy who wanted to know about the bandanna has probably bought his own by now. Also, regardless of whether BB's bandanna is Teal or not, you can't buy Teal in the Reward Shop. I think that we've strayed off of topic a bit (my fault lol).

Heavily-Armed Trooper Posts: 652 Group: Members Member #10,985 Joined: January 26, 2009 Favourite Metal Gear Title? Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots	I find this topic highly amusing. But on topic, I think dark slate gray best represents Big Boss's bandanna.

LET US COMMENCE A BATTLE OF WITS THROUGH HEATED DEBATE AND INCOHERENT SWEARING OVER THE CLASSIFICATION OF COLOURS But, uh yeah, I shouldn't be off-topic. I think the olive drab looks the most like the original.

When that guide was made (well before the days of the MGS3 story ever being planned by Kojima), the official story was that Big Boss lost his eye in the 80's. They're called 'official' strategy guides for a reason, right? Also, you don't have to post pictures of Big Boss' bandanna either. We all know what it looks like as well. Whether his bandana is Teal, Grey, Olive Drab (etc) doesn't really matter. Whether they themselves typed it in right or wrong doesn't really matter to me. All I'm saying is that I read it in the strategy guide. Make of it what you will. As you said, this is turning into another Caldera 'what colour are Snake's eyes' debate, and I don't want to be a part of that lol. Consider this as me backing down to prevent another irrelevant argument. Edited by Solid Gally, Apr 16 2009, 04:03 PM.
