[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Interesting find.. Anyone has other suggestions?

Each year new colors appear on the market.  A little more black, red or yellow may be added to an already jpopular color to change its tent.  It would be next to impossible to creat a list of colors and discriptions to stay current.  My aggravation is tan and gray...not everyone knows the difference.  Green and blues presents a huge problem, too.

Hi Joyce,

I really remember colors well and a dream come true for me would be if some one created a master list of a large number of color variations. They could be described by the lightness/darkness, the subtlty or not so subtile color/colors in the shade. You were talking about red. Wow, it drives me nut s when some one cannot tell me whether the red is light or dark, has a orange or purple tone, whether there is a brown tint and the like. I have a friend who can do that for me, but oh would I like a cheat cheet that says that granny apple is a redish purple with blue highlights or whatever that shade really is. <smile> do you think it is even a reasonable goal for someone to create such a list. I know that some companys go crazy with names that don’t make sense, but something like granny smith apple is probably the color of this apple. The closest I remember to this was when Sarah had taught those yarn pallet classes where she described tall he shades in that yarn. Also once you found a list of description of all a companys yarn colors.

I have a lion brand homespun yarn called candy apple and my friend told me that  isthat is exactly the color the yarn is. That I like. 

Enough babbling for me. Time to take out the dogs.



May God bless you.
