Default Panel Color?

Is that the color of the panel? Would you call it taupe, mauve, pinkish brown or just baby-poop brown? Maybe its a new frufru color? Y-U-C-K! Whats wrong with gray with the accompanying smell of hydraulic fluid and sweat?

That color was chosen to match the leather heated seats.

I've seen the same colors on every 757/767 I've ever jumpseated on.

Pretty standard for that type I guess

Seems like a calming color to me

Yep, 744, 757, 767 all have that same lovely shade of brown/tan/poop.

I think that's more of a taupe. I understand it was implemented to cut down on the violent P-3 flashbacks sometimes experienced by that 50% of the crew force.

The FCIF should be out any day, a couple of other custom colors are on the way as well:

Soothing prison pink for the MEM hub-turnites (comes with integrated white noise generator and stress squeeze-ball):





And nursing home green for crews consisting of those our UPS brethren more subtly refer to as "Favres".



This paint scheme will come standard with these preinstalled on each DU. Headsets earphones are factory calibrated to 3X gain.
