I'm trying to decide which color I should use for various future projects. Is there much af a difference between the two or is it possible using both would clash in a quilt?
Thanks for you opinion!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have those two specific colors, but, to my eye, there is enough of a difference in all Kona solids colors to be noticible. Whites can vary quite a bit or just a little and if it's just a little, it can look like one is just grungier than the other. I wouldn't use them together for that reason. Ask Favorite Fabrics if she can check her color card for you to see how close they are.

I agree with ghostrider, whites should probably be purchased in large enough quantities to use the same one in a quilt.
The same fabric can even vary from one dye lot to another too :wink:

Ok, and so I did...
The color "white" is just clean white, like a blank piece of paper.
The color "snow", on my sample card, is more like milk white. I mean whole milk, not skim!
Puts me in mind of that song from the musical "Oklahoma", about the horses ... "One's like snow, the other's more like milk..."

Probably cannot go wrong with the true "white".

Just a few thoughts.....

Well honestly I just went to take a picture of the 3 next to each other to show the difference.
And I can't see much but this would most likely vary from bolt to bolt also.
Don't think they would clash.
