I agree with Sewbizgirl- Let's swap like we usually do. Leave it to our "eye." The grays had "charcoal", "steel gray", "silver fox"....all sorts of gray- tinted blue to tan. I had no idea that "neutrals" could have a range as described by Bonnie Hunter.
I caught the thread on white-on-white and have experienced the painted-on design that comes off in the wash. I purchased a Moda WoW recently, and it seemed to be that way, too....just not as obvious as some I bought at Joann's.
