There is a picture of the game at Gamefest website- see report of the Origins Convention.
Photo shows full board and some pieces - Looks very bluish tinted.
Note the label stuck on the box lid - 'shipping in September'

awesome!!!!
(Though I do hope the colors of the units are done a little differently. Maybe trade the light blue out for a darker blue, or a dark green maybe - that's my small gripe).
But it looks gorgeous!

I do not know if the colors are definite or not but that could easily be fixed by painting them yourself!
I am planning to paint them so each nation has its own color, like this:
Sauron: Red
Isengard: Grey
Southrons & Easterlings: Orange
Elves: Green
Gondor: White
Rohan: Blue
The North: Light Blue
Dwarves: Beige

Try and compare the Gamefest photo and the one on Tilsit for the French board.
Unless it is a trick of the light when photographs originally taken, but the French looks far darker than the Gamefest (american presumably) one-
land areas on the french are almost brown.
Admittedly the blue pieces on the Gamefest would make the overall complexion (too) blue but I wonder if the Tilsit sample board would be more suitable, making it easier to differentiate pieces and land areas?
Does anyone know if there will be tonal differences between country productions? DC.

I do not know, hopefully Francesco can answer this one!

Please note that the game shown at Origins is an almost complete mock-up, not the definitive version of the game, so colors and some other stuff may differ. Francesco |

That's not a bad idea painting the pieces.... I have done some small amount of modelling, and I can see myself being creative... but 215 pieces (maybe minus the fellowship/nazgul) is a lot of hand painting.
Maybe I'll just hand paint the leaders and what-not, and then block paint the others in other colors...
I do agree that the board at origins is... lighter and more blue in appearance than the French version we saw earlier... That one appears, darker... cooler...
But like the master himself said, everything so far are pre-release versions, and with everything being standardized, I have faith it will all come out like gold!
