Cast Bronze Sextans, AES Formatum anyone

I am a bit color blind (some of the chart dots I do not see), but I see most colors (unless you ask my wife).
When I hold the knife close to any light in the house, I see blue-green spots. They could be purple and I see blue green. The bar has some of the same blue-green tint to me. I see only brown in hand for the others. I agree most of the pieces have the blue green tint in the pics.
A new set of shots with a different background are less blue to me. The top pic is with room light only (which is pretty dim at night). The other pics are with the new light.






PS - Doug you can say I told you so here about the background color.

Very interesting pieces! I have a pancake fragment, near 5 ounces, bought some years ago in FAC:

 

I have some later Formatum that I think is cool from Italia:
