I think the only real difference in brightness is that the tan in your new scarf is more of a tan and less of a cream/natural color that was used in your old scarf. Which makes the whole scarf seem more muted where it might not actually be.
Just as an FYI when people ask you about it. Brown Sheep (100% wool) and Lion Brand Vanna's Choice (100% acrylic, but it feels nice) have very good color choices currently in production and you can usually get them at a very reasonable price.
Since it was the project I learned to knit on, I went for more of an impression of the colors rather then going for accuracy on my own Season 12. But since contributing to a traveling Season 12 in Brown Sheep, I'm ready to give my current scarf to the cat and start a new, more accurate, one.
Well all of the colors are muted/darker (except maybe the red) but the camel/tan really stands out you're right.
In real life I love the read- it's only in photos when it seems a touch dark- but again I think this is more of me being used to the old scarf (which is nicely worn and lived in having been knitted back in 1984).
but i hear those brands are great choices for Fourth Doctor Scarf colors! Bes tof luck on the traveling Season 12 scarf!
