Don't fire the MRS yet! In the last two pics...looks like the wood matches up just fine. Yes, there are some lighter areas of the handle, but it's wood for crissakes! Honestly, I am guessing that the flash on the camera probably 'washed' some of the color out.
Also, I have yet to see a piece of figured wood that did not have a 'bad side'...if you know what I mean. Anymore, it's getting harder to find even a nice solid jet black in Gabon.
Roll the cue over and take another pic from the other side...I bet it's just fine.
And seriously...for a half-blind, color blind guy...you do a pretty damn fine job with your wood and veneer combos.

I can't help you with the color scheme for the simple fact that I'm in the same boat as you, or maybe worse since you are seeing purple. (wtf color is that, I've never seen it).
I have a theory, all these people claiming to see all of these different colors are living in a fantasy world. It's people like us that see things the way they should.
having said that, it won't help you with real life applications but I've become very dependant on a tool for my pc that reads the pixel definition on the computer and reports the color back.
it's called "whatcolor" and you can find it here.

well i like your cues, and I do remember you gave me a couple shafts awhile back, for a Mcdermott I believe, so im going to give you my honest opinion, your cues are by far some of the best designs I have seen, and I know from the shafts you gave me that was your "junk" your cues play lights out...I didnt know you was color blind tho lloooool xP
as most people on here that i have dealt with,
know i am terribly colorblind
i mean it's bad folks, really bad
so with that in mind, what I am seeing,
most likely isnt what people with normal vision see
someone told me the other day that my color scheme of a cue was off,
that the handle just doesn't go with the rest of the cue
i'd like to hear some other viewpoints about it,
and if the majority of people agree ,
i may just go back and do a leather wrap over it
i have to get my wife or whoever else may be around at the time to help me sort out veneers,
and i always have to ask her if THIS wood goes with THAT wood
she picked out the handle for this one
pics arent the greatest
what I see is a purplish tint in the east indian handle,
but not as purple as the top butterflys of east indian
what do you non color blind folks see?
thank you in advance for your decorating skills :thumbup:
I agree with Mr. Manning.... but I think the subtle difference in color is a good contrast. I like it that way.

:idea2::idea2::idea2::idea2::idea2:
trade you the cue for the avatar ladies
i do know what color they are, HOT!!
hiya tim
if it sits around here for awhile making me think about it,
i'll do black leather
oh yeah i remember now
I didnt know you was color blind tho lloooool xP
i was always the guy in school that had different color sox on
solved that problem, i go barefoot now, like WILLEE
no shiiiiiiiiittttttttttttWell then...congratulations to you both! Definitely beats a poke in the eye with a sharp antenna.

wouldnt have to worry about be colorblind though
JUST BLIND!
I think it looks great. What I'm seeing is basically a natural dark stained brown grip area with colorful butterfly bits flying out of the top and bottom. I don't mind that the handle is brown and the other stuff is blue and purple (which I really love). It's like a 2-tone natural wood cue that has colorful accents added. Red accents don't blend on a black car either but that doesn't mean they look bad.
IMO you have a really nice cue there and making the handle a less natural bluer/purpler/whatever shade won't improve it.

decision time
another az'er is interested in it the way it is,
but he's a little strapped for cash as the rest of america is
so, i'm giving him a little time to come up with some bucks
if he cant, i'm going to do a leather wrap on it :thumbup:
and thank you all for your input, thoughts, ideas, etc.
