What's so hard about 'blue'??

OMG yes! I usually end up asking for a reference to an object that is the color they are searching for and even then it doesn't work. My gosh there are so many shades of blue you could spend forever trying to guess what they want. I like the suggestion of another member that you use those paint cards that you can get at the hardware store and ask them to select the color from that. Green to my husband is grass green and there is no other shade of green.

I often have this conversation when it comes to the teals. Some people see them as green - others as blue. I seem to always be on the opposite side of the colorwheel. lol If you make it scrappy, then all blue should work. Maybe that would open her eyes.

All she needs to do is go to the paint chip wall and see all the "blue" and realize there is more to blue than meets the eye.
But then all colors are like that .. I would have done the same ask for a paint chip that way you can at least get it in the right shade or degree of blue.

If i asked someone for a specific color and then get no response or sample from them, then i make what I want. It is their problem after that. Life is too short for me to wait around and cater to other people.

Some people like me will argue for hours over the difference between turquiose and teal. Some people don't see it. I go into a fabric store with hundreds of selections and never do find the shade I am looking for. The easiest thing is to just find something pretty.
