I think of hammertone as for medical equipotent in the 40's and 50's
which I saw a lot of as a kid as my dad was a doctor.
I'd like to see a flat grey body. Normally reserved for times of war.
But as this is a time of was as is just about any time is - flat grey is
certainly apropos and looks dead ugly in a gorgeous kinda way.
And less hammering.
