Really nice kit. Simple and meaningful.
About the colour; it was produced by the Ottoman artists, to paint the tiles covering the buildings. Produced by adding an amount of blue colour into glass-green colour. The name of it comes from the meaning of “Turk” or “Turkish” in French (Turquoise). After those years which the color was invented in, besides the art of tile-making, it was used to paint porcelain products such as plates, vases, etc.

The Turquoise like mentioned before is the Azure colour most often associated with Turkey from the Ottoman era. From decorative works in architecture to the Turquoise blue coasts of the Turkish Riviera.

But to be more specific, i think this sudden addition of the Turquoise colour is in support of the new ‘Turquality’ promotional project, launched by the Ministry of the of Culture & Tourism of Turkey, aims to globally promote and establish a brand image of Quality Turkish produce. And obviously the Euro 2008 is a great opportunity to establish this brand image.

I’m glad you like the kit, despite the fact alot of other Turks hate it, i for one think its cool.

Thanks! I appreciate the knowledge, it makes more sense to me now as to why they have the color in there. I knew there had to be more to it.
