Ruben, like some others here I have seen this urn several times in reality, and the colour is certainly rather greenish than blueish. Comparing it with my pic above or personal memory it is rather that the picture you provide here is a bit on the pale side. Apart from that it is not really essential, since nothing but a chemical analysis will possibly tell us what colour was originally on the urn. D´Amato´s argument that were a representation of a green leather armour is, as we have seen, more on the shaky side. So, the exact shade of the colour is for our discussion not really relevant.
