It actually looked good with the camel cloth! But I still say GREEN!!!!!!!!!!! The guy that owned the table said the guys that set it up back 30 years ago......Sanded the slates for a whole DAY! The slates looked porous. Not sure why they would have had to sand the slate. Hope it weren't to get those seems matched up lol!!!!! They evidently sanded the whole thing....not just the joints! But sweet original table none the less.
