Thank you for your discussion of grey. I greatly appreciate your descriptions (sometimes funny). I am a true spring and definitely need to select greys by comparison. Next to other seasons, they don’t look grey but next to my colors they do. Since you love using words to describe colors, I wanted to share a link to a linen fabric site that uses beautiful word descriptions to describe their color. It isn’t always the name but the descriptions and emails that show colors side by side. Have fun reading these word descriptions. They definitely share a love for describing the color nuances. https://blog.fabrics-store.com/category/style-news/
That was a wonderful link, Susan, thank you for sharing it. It reminded me of perfume websites, some of the descriptions of scent are so inspired! Loved your comment about how your grays don’t really look gray unless they’re near your colours, a good choice of words that might apply to many Seasons.
