Three of my "blacks" ended up being GREENs, and another one is a BROWN. One of my golds is too greenish and another one is too dark... like a tan. And that yard and a half of gray? It's TAUPE! Totally wrong. So, I will put these aside and will go shopping at a brick and mortar fabric shop. Learned my lesson.

i hate that when that happens. Is it our monitors that distort the color? At any rate, I'm with you. Better to go shopping at a B&M store.
