Ordering online - colors
There's a quite a few sites with quilting thread on the cones. They do show color samples. How accurate are those colors if you are trying to color match?
A color will look flat gray on the screen, but when you get it, it has a green or blue cast. The color number will be the same, but the dye lot is different.
I do Photoshop, so I can calibrate my desktop monitor to "what you see is what you get"
Are the color samples right? The only way I could be sure is if they used Pantone.
Colors change from year to year. I like rust and burgundy in Southwestern colors, and if I go to use fabric that is more than 2 years old and have run out of thread - this years colors don't match.
Do you send a sample of fabric?
