[Nfb-krafters-korner] shades of brown explored

[Ramona Walhof]

O, Kathy, there could be a lot mlore!  You didn't get Cammel or Tan or
chestnut, and I haven't even tried to think them up.  And I think all of the
other colors are at least as bad.  And of course, the yarn and fabric
companies couldn't use all the same colors as each other.  Isn't it fun!

Hello all,

As usual, my active and curious mind has me researching on the internet. I
was meditating on the many shades of the color brown. Some of these shades I
can remember seeing and others I cannot. So here is a partial list of browns
and their descriptions for your own enjoyment and meditation. Personally, I
have a headache now. <grin> Why do I have a headache you ask? Well examine
this list and you will notice that some of the colors have the same
descriptions. hmm, how many yellowish browns can there be; or are they all
the same shade with different names? oh my, and the same goes for reddish
brown colors. <sigh> please pass the Advil. Oh thanks so much.

Btw, people have described my hair color as either seal or mink brown. It is
a dark brown but I have no idea what a seal or mink looks like for that
matter. Hmm, are both animals the same shade of brown, or which of these
animals do I share my hair color with?  <LOLL>
