Yup, Richard's has exactly the color I was expecting.

Good cold weather performance on the E-1.  I don't know how long the 
Canyon would last in those conditions but the spec only allows for 0 C. 
  It says it gets 400 shots at 0 C vs. 800 at 20 C.  I had it out the 
other day in slightly colder weather than that for about an hour.  The 
first battery failed in about 5-10 minutes with no warning but it was 
nowhere near full charge.  The second one carried on without problem for 
the remainder of the hour and is still indicating a high state of 
charge.  I guess the only thing that matters it that it apparently can 
last longer than me.
