Yes there are two different shades of yellow Stevie

The earlier Firestorm has a darker yellow, the later ones with the bigger tank and different speedo etc are a paler yellow

Cheers Chris,
i often wondered , as i'd never seen 2 yella uns side by side to compare ,only in pics

Also sometimes the pc monitor/camera can play tricks, ie ,in some ebay adds where someone is selling a red 'storm, the bike colour is very pale,and not a true representation of the true colour

Ah the brighter darker Yellow looks good but the paler not so IMO some of the shiny darker yellows with polished rims look excellent . Nearly as good as the Red ones

Stevie,

You're right about how colours can look/change in a digi photo, especially on ebay when they're taken with a not very good phone camera

Steady now Beamish

All joking aside I would agree with you on that

One thing I do know about the earlier darker yellow, it's one swine of a colour to match, IE bellypan or whatever,

Chris.
