No ... we're full of .... um .... information here. Plus you get much more personal service than with Google.

Where can I find a site that would show me a sample of specific fonts. (I have a disk chock full of fonts, but I don't want to load all of them just to see what they look like.) I'd much rather "see" them before I actually load them. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! THANKS A TON!!

Don't know where to post this, hoping someone is around this Thanksgiving weekend to help me out. My colour blind BF thinks the blanket I bought him for his birthday is BROWN, I'm trying desperately to convince him that it is, in fact, green. Perhaps a wierd shade of green, but green nonetheless. Definately not brown. Anyone willing to back me up?
This one, I tried to put it infront of something green and something brown to give an idea of the shade... the flash messes the colour up a bit)

You're not doing much to help me win this argument, Eeyore! I need a good, solid, "GREEN!" Consider that pic #2 was taken on a YELLOW tile countertop... look at the green tone under the blanket. (bottom, right-centre). Tell me that's not green. Please?

I think it's comparable to that FUR you can get, where the TIPS of the hair are brown, and the base color is white. Do you know what I mean? So when you bend the material, you're seeing the base color, and if it's laid flat, you see more of the color of the tips.... Does that make sense? Do you know the type of fur I'm talking about? Lots of dogs have that kind of coat. I'll have to go look for pictures. But I think the tips of the fluff on the blanket are brown, and the base color is green. I know, I'm not much help.

man, I must be really color blind then. I see grey. If I had to choose between a brown or a green though I would say it is more green for sure

Karen~ I sympathize. My son is color blind. He also has trouble with green & brown. I see primarily green, maybe a sea foam color. In the middle picture I do see the hint of brown on the tips or the way the light is shining. But against the dark greens and the brown bag, it looks green to me. I guess I should be grateful that DS doesn't argue with me. He just believes me when I tell him what color things are.

My monitor is showing it definitely brown in pictures 1 and 2. Picture 3 makes it an indeterminate colour which could be pale green, pale blue, gray or sand coloured. Ummmmmmm, is this important? Will we be awarded bonus points? Will the dbf have to go to the doghouse with multi-coloured dogs?

I wish I could see one color, but I see many. It's almost like you will see a different color depending on how the light hits it. The first color that came to my mind was maybe a gunmetal grey, but the middle picture looks rusty brown on the left and greenish on the right. Then the bottom picture looks like a pale green/grey. I'd say that is a good thing; since you don't know what color it is, it will go with almost anything!

Karen, I think this is one of those we're-both-right kinda arguments. Since he's the b'day boy, I recommend following my mother's advice when disagreeing over unimportant issues in the grand scheme of things: "You're right and I got my peace!"

If I were to try and reproduce that colour I would probably start with an Olive green base. So I see green as the main colour.

The center picture looks beige on the left side, and mossy green on the right side. Maybe your BF isn't color blind after all, he's just indecisive.

I think Finq's got it right... an olive base. Overlaid with greige (a grey-beige). The problem, though, is the pile on the throw. It'll absorb/reflect light differently, depending on the way you are looking at it. (Kind of like taffeta.) Definitely green undertones. But I see beige/brown and grey, too. D'ya have a box of Crayola crayons? Like the massive box. If not, check out the Crayola color wheel. Scroll down and see the scanned color smudges. Spring green mixed maybe with Timberwolf and Tumbleweed!

Remember .... we aren't really seeing the blanket. We are seeing what our screens are showing us. So I'm not sure how much help this is to you. Also the color is affected by the camera settings, the lighting and the colors of objects around it. (As a photographer, I deal with this sort of issue every day). But just to help you out I'll say it is sort of green!
