From the posts here, the 'intent' is that physical deatils are not present, but emotional residue can convery impressions of physical details if present. However atleast in the survey done at the local gaming store 36 people our of 36 people (who said they had no previous knowledge of the shadowrun universe) where under the impression that physical deatils were present just blurry, indistinct, or otherwise 'hard to discern'... not that they were impossible to discern, save through any emotional residue that might convey physical details.


The simplified answer is that very basic details appear on the astral plane. That's the blurry, drab, indistinct astral shadow. But if a mage wanted to know what color the item is, physically, and had only the astral shadow to work with, he'd have to hope the item's color carries enough emotional significance to carry through to the astral plane. The gamemaster is going to have to make that call, since the rules can't decide on the emotional sigificance of each trait of each item.
