It does look to be brownish but really the lighting and and the pics didnt show the true color..
I would have taken pics outside but we had a gully washer come through and now the sun is gone and all rain. It really does look like the pic you showed. But then again I am only going off of what the shop owner said and he wasnt taken care of them at all.
So this morning the wife is calling and going to try to get them in.
