If you dont like it return it. Count yourself lucky you've got a signed Banksy.
In the words of the wise. "s**t Happens"
Just for the record Mine is like 'Danksters'. I'm chuffed to get a signed Banksy. On the asthetics front I've never shat a Khaki green (maybe i'm not getting my veg in) so it's all good.
I actually like the colour better than the brown. It would be best described as the khaki in the 'souled out studios' link above. (on top of the Micallef forum link).
EDIT:
Save you lot scrolling up

i really dig it though. it looks awesome.
i guess they either ran out of ink and remixed, or banksy decided the color wasnt quite where he wanted it and thus remixed mid-printing...

From what I gather it was the latter. A loads of prints were apparantly scraped and re-printed with the new colour given to them by the artist.

As stated before, this is not the first time there has been a colour variation with Banksy prints and I'm sure it wont be the last. I like it because it says to me that it is hand pulled and the paint has been mixed when required (Try mixing two different batches of paint, trying to get the same colour, nearly impossible) and not churned out by machine. If perfect prints with no colour faults were wanted then they would use giclees or similar.

morons colours?, by melttheguns on May 7, 2007 4:05:41 GMT 1, i might be biased and uniformed, but to me the greenish hue seems to have more of a true sepia feel to it than the copper. i think the copper/brown looks awesome too, but the colors don't match the scene as well as the newer green/khaki hue prints...
just my opinion of course.....

Fair point. I have to admit the new colour has grown on me and I am starting to like it.

It's not that hard to match ink, just buy a Pantone book and follow the instructions, what do you think printers do? it's no good a customer requesting say, a bright orange and getting a red it would be thrown back in the printers face.
Fair enough if Banksy wanted the greenish colour, but I can't see why they weren't all printed in that colour if that's the case. Sepia is not greenish it's brownish, a yellow or redish brown / tan colour.

compared to the webpage it is night and day. the jpegs show a truer version of the variation but i think it still makes it look like a greater variation than in real life.
only one man's opinion.
i think they are all 1st class all the way.

Also Pantone matching is not full proof. I have seen many different pantone books, and no 2 look identical

I was saying mix the ink using Pantone book which has the formula, the books will very slightly especially with age, but the point being the formula will be the same. Choose your colour, get the formula, mix, when it's run out your new mix will match if you use the same formula.
Jobs a good un

morons colours?, by corblimeylimey on May 13, 2007 18:26:41 GMT 1, They must have done the different versions deliberately, there's no way they'd be that far out trying to match. The only question is did Banksy come along and say he wanted it changed to a colour he prefered (in which case they all really should have been done to match that colour) or did he want different versions.
We know that the numbering may not be in sequence so was the brownish (copper) changed to the greenish colour or vice versa?

Someone asked Dora (it's posted in another thread) and her answer was the artist wasn't pleased with a few hundred prints so asked they be re-done with the colour he handed them. So it seems to be down to Banksy as opposed to POW.

What they are saying then, is that a quantity of 'seconds' have been let go as they didn't want to re-print them to the artists spec. That's pretty crap IMO.

"Your friend must have received one of the earlier prints and so his is of the slightly different colourway"
