i fill in with white-on-white most of the time.
I prefer the beigy off whites to the whites. I suppose it's because in our area we have problems with water and most of our whites turn out to be off white or beigy white :lol: . I do love the neutrals -- and there are as many of those as there are hairs on my head. Don't remember which thread I saw this pretty neutral patchwork as a background and appliqued florals over it. Very pretty.
I know what you mean about the different tones of greens. It's the same with the blues, the reds, the yellows, the browns, the blacks, etc. I like the greens that have a little blue in it. Of course, in the seventies, I liked the olives. And those are back in vogue today.
