Whats the difference between the blue and tan colored globes?
The TAN globes are Antique in appearance and are preferred when the globe is to be used as a decorative accessory because the more neutral tan color complements almost any home or office dcor. The TAN background or ocean is actually produced from a reproduction of an ancient parchment to give it the Antique or Old World lookthe geographic information is up-to-date and this Antiqued treatment is done primarily for its aesthetic appeal. The BLUE globes, while also political, have the ocean areas in a blue (water) color and usually consist of highly contrasting, colorful, political boundaries. The youth market normally prefers such globes.
