I find that yellow/black or gold/black combo's are hard to find.

Grey and brown are almost impossible to find around here.

Pinks to purples, and in between. Usually the ones you are looking for~

Last wk I was stumped trying to find rose color yardage.The stores have pale pink,hot pink,reddish pink ,a purple pink....but no rose.
Was afraid to trust colors on line & finally bought the 2yds I needed. It's close, but still not the perfect rose. :roll: :roll:
The one I need, of course!

For me, it has been tone on tone black. I can find blacks that read gray, or blue/black or green/black but just not plain dark black. I can easily find black and white prints but they have way too much white to use as a background. I even find it difficult to get plain solid black. Can you tell yet that I need black?

Have you tried Kona Cotton's Amish Black?

True too many reds are orange and odly enough many people seem to like only the true red and not the orange reds.

reds are the hardest to match up, for sure!
