LD Sighting Indiana June 28, 2018, 01:45:11 pm Hello whoever you are. Fremont, Indiana Pilot Truck stop. On my way home from our local Menards store. Minutes from my back yard. Hope you are heading north on 69 to enjoy what Michigan has to offer. Today about 1:00 pm. I had to turn around and be sure what I was seeing. Green with Texas plate.

Re: LD Sighting Indiana Reply #5 – June 29, 2018, 02:57:53 am LDy Lulubelle & I had great excitement this afternoon as Susie Devers stopped by in her baby blue '07 MB on her west coast to east coast to west coast trek to visit cousins & school friends. We were so busy talking we didn't think to take pictures before she headed on north to Iowa. It's the first LD we've seen since Ladeze in Idaho in 2016, & Susie said she'd seen nary a one since leaving home, through Nevada/Utah/Colorado/Kansas/Oklahoma through Missouri.Wonderful visit & so nice to see her baby.Lynne 1 Likes
Re: LD Sighting Indiana Reply #6 – June 29, 2018, 09:39:28 am From the LD "official" website. The two-tone green (teal) with green/tan interior is one of my favorites.

Hmm I'd like to point out that there might be a person or two that maybe would disagree with you. A person maybe might think that gray is a proper color for an LD........ 2 Likes

Re: LD Sighting Indiana Reply #10 – June 29, 2018, 11:35:24 am I was told the Gray makes the LD invisible in stealth mode, since it cuts through the wind so easy, that my story.

Re: LD Sighting Indiana Reply #12 – June 29, 2018, 12:03:58 pm Color choices aside we chose “ charcoal & silver” not gray. 🧐My first up close and personal LD sighting was in Yosemite Valley around 2013. It was sitting in all its classic paint scheme Burgandy (Red?) along the meadow near the Village. I was awestruck. At the time I didn’t know anything more than LDs were beautiful, durable and desirable. That encounter whetted my appetite and I couldn’t get LDs out my my head.Fast forward to September 2014 on my DW’s and my color choice day. On the showroom floor were two models and a RB ready for pick up. We stood back and stared for a while. The Blue model was striking and the Teal was mesmerizing. I looked at those two rigs and found myself staring at the paint color and found, for some reason, the beautiful Lazy Dazes disappeared behind the classic paint. Beautiful? Absolutely. They were both perfect I thought to myself. Then we turned around and looked at the RB with its new paint scheme in Charcoal & Silver. My DW and I were hooked. The color blended into the beautiful stylings of the Lazy Daze lines. The color and the new paint scheme allowed me to see the LD lines. I wasn’t looking at the paint but rather the LD itself. Even today while sitting under the pines I look at our beautiful rig and my eyes are drawn immediately to the LD and then the understated paint job. Ahhh....I do enjoy the colors offered by LD. Teal is very satisfying to me and blue is cool and calming. Burgundy pops and says “Aren’t I gorgeous?” Yes to them all. Yes you are all splendid and I’m glad to see you. What could be better than to see a rainbow of LDs? I’m all for that.Kent 3 Likes
Re: LD Sighting Indiana Reply #13 – June 29, 2018, 04:26:25 pm Continuing the veer off topic, we belong to a scooter club here in L.A., and one of the fun things when we have a group ride is all of the colors that show up. Reds, blues, greens, yellows, blacks, silvers, whites, creams, grays. We look like a kaleidoscope going down the road. 😎. — Jon, black scoot and gray TK. 1 Likes

Re: LD Sighting Indiana Reply #15 – June 29, 2018, 09:26:01 pm When we had the house built in 1985 we had to make carpet choices. When we went, we took samples of dirt on the lot. That drove our question 'which color best hides the dirt'? With LD color selection, we thought tan would hid the dust. Our thoughts turned to the time it would be on dusty roads, and the time on pavement (only occasionally wet in California). We opted for the grey which seems to better match the road grime. Blue is my favorite color. That did not prevail in carpet or RV colors.

Your links about visual perception of color reminded me of the recent Yanny or Laurel bit in the news...sometimes, I do believe, it's a miracle that we humans can communicate at all, given the variance in even something as simple as sensory perception.
