    Royal purple. Most are too blue or too purple. Orange is second in line. If I see a pretty orange, I always buy at least 1/2 yard.

    Seems to me that pastels are always hard to find in the right shade.

    true black, most have a washed out look, or a gray look. I was told to ask for Amish black. Will try that next

    true white, in my opinion. I can find white on white or winter white. But white? It doesn't seem to exist. I finally found some online.

    I don't know about color, but I've been searching for novelty wrestling fabric for a while with no results. I have located some licensed fabric, but would rather have a novelty fabric.

    Purple probably. I did see some in the Colonial Poison Green and Cheddar set. My eyes are so bad it might have just been off blues. lol

    I just looked some of them up and they are indeed named purples.

    One comment is that any color under store light is never true. In paint stores there is sometimes a display where you can hold chips under different lights and the difference is amazing. If you really want to be sure, view it under an OTT (full spectrum) light or find a way to look at it in the real daylight.
