Brown or maroon hood?

[Tork T]

Here I go again...

We've (y'all) determined the grill is a 2003 Silver C. But what color is the hood, brown or maroon? Split vote here at my house....

Thanks

 

[J Grotz]

I see a blue dress.

It depends on the lighting. My vote is maroon.

 

[Dan Leighton]

I vote maroon too. Doesn't look like the brown I've seen in lids.

 

[Tork T]

Thanks- Wife said brown. I win for a change.

 

[LMichaels]

I say "yes" it is

Brown at the 7 minute mark of Bruce's parts collection

Bruce is color blind.

 

[Bruce]

Yah I am color blind. Not 100% but significantly. I just pulled that lid in the video out for my next project. It looks more Maroon to me now that it did in the video. The photo posted by Tork is the same color I believe, and I say Maroon on that too.

 

[DavidK]

Yeah, in that video I'd say brown is @ 6:45 and maroon is @ 7:12

 

[Bruce]

Just a change in lighting.

 

[Jeff MA]

That is definitely Maroon. The A/B/C series of grills never came with a Brown hood like the earlier Genesis models.

David you are on the money. I was slow hitting the pause on the video. Yes, that 7:12 lid is maroon. I've only got black, blue, and green on the family's 3 2007 Genesis.

 

[DavidK]

We need to thank Bruce for maintaining nearly every color in the Weber palette!

If in doubt check out the 2001 Weber Brochure...

Scroll down to the bottom and check out the color options. That color is actually referred to as Burgundy.

Here is a "maroon" lid grill I just sold. I swear this lid was much more brown than red before I took photos of it.

That color is actually referred to as Burgundy.

Burgundy it is, then.

I'll drink to that.

 

[Bruce]

I say that if you can detect any "red" in it at all, it has to be called Maroon... or maybe "burgundy".

 

[Tork T]

Dang you guys are good! Thanks and I'll still claim the win.

Bugs Bunny might refer to it as “Ultra Maroon”!
