In the meantime, here’s something short and sweet that will make everyone happy: I found those pictures of the Matte Charcoal Lady Phase! They are not the best, but that (for once) is not my fault:
There are a few other Charcoal Test Colors and Oddities floating around that also date from The Great Charcoal Interregnum, though as with most Test Colors from that period, it’s hard to tell whether they were done to actually “test” for the color’s possible return, or someone (like Marney) simply wanted a Charcoal something-something.
(I know if I had painting booth privileges, I would have painted my share!)
I can’t offer any context for these photos, other than the fact that they predate the arrival of Memphis Storm by at least a few years, and Marney may have/probably had something to do with her.
Where this Lady Phase is now, I have no idea. I’d snap her up in a heartbeat, for the right price.
(Charcoal + Lady Phase + Vintage Test Color = No gonna happen.)

Lovely! She's got that same type of gloss as Memphis Storm, too. The not-quite-glossy gloss that leaves a lot of the mold's texture showing through. The blaze is interesting- looks masked or maybe even painted on? I'd also love to know where she is!
"The Great Charcoal Interregnum" is the best bit of language, possibly the best *anything*, I have encountered in a week!
WHY couldn't we have this instead of those red rubella roans???
