Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What a great idea. Rarely do I ask about colors.
Quilting makes me happy!..
Fantastic idea. I'm going to use that.
I used to be "hot", now it's just "hot flashes!"
I'm with you debrak..... don't ask them.... I've never had one complaint...

What will you do, if she comes up with a blue you can't match?
Wasn't trying for a match - just something compatible or similar 'flavor'
My sister is used to my sarcasm, so I would have been tempted to give her a long list light blues.
My niece sent me a picture of the wall so I would know what color.
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
Yes I've run into that situation. I was redecorating and a girlfriend asked if I needed a new dust ruffle for the bed. Yes, green. The one she brought me was green all right, like a blue spruce is green. Argh! I finally realized that the general public doesn't recognize shades and values like a quilter does. So I agree. Don't ask.
Your girlfriend may have color blindness - I do! Recently, at a guild meeting, I picked up some strips and called them purple - I was politely corrected to navy blue. I always laugh about those mistakes - Seems that some of the shades used to make the color are not visible to me, so I see colors differently.
They just don't know how many colors really exist in an artist's world....we are all artists' working with a huge mass of color choices! Now we know how Rembrandt and Monet felt. LOL
