This piece has very subtle use of color and it is hard to show on a computer screen. The guard borders are brown and blue and it takes a very sophisticated color card to show the colors. With a 6 mg or higher color card you should see it but with an average card like a 2 or a 4 mg it will look black. I wish all computers were built to the same video standard it would make these pictures easier to standardize.
