Regolith is mostly powdered rock and pebbles from the parent body that may or may not be compacted at the surface. So why should the reflectance spectra from Lutetia's regolith be totally dismissed? Are you dismissing Spectroscopy of asteroids altogether? If the paint derived from the parent body,

Doug, By your own argument, it would be a speculative assumption to consider that Lutetia is not an E-class meteorite, and that it's spectroscopy doesn't reflect in some way it's general composition. Like you say, without a direct sample of Lutetia, no one can be absolutely certain. On this I
