Right, it comes down to a question of making the item totally screen accurate, or accurate to how the audience/fans perceive it. We discuss this to death in Fett costuming too, trying to find the exact paint colors they used vs what LOOKS right, because what looked a certain way in studio lighting isn't going to match someone like me walking outside or in a convention hall.
