What's so hard about 'blue'??
I once asked my sister what she would like for some event one year.
She said pillowcases. Okay, I can do pillowcases. I asked her "What color?" She said: "Light blue." Okay - I asked her to send me some paint chips so I could get the right 'kind' of blue. She said: "What's so hard about 'blue'? Anyone else have this type of dialog? I was just trying to get a shade that would be compatible with what she had. I did not appreciate her apparent lack of cooperation. PS - She has finally come around to realizing that there is more than one shade of any given color. |
Just another small fire to put out.ha.

I never ask what anybody wants ;-)

Unfortunately, in your desire to provide for your sister something special in the perfect color just for her, she's probably thinking you're a tad bit "anal", and please excuse the expression. Obviously she hasn't been inside a fabric shop in the last decade and seen the gazillion blues available. Sometimes you just can't win.....

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. |
I'm with you debrak..... don't ask them.... I've never had one complaint...

What will you do, if she comes up with a blue you can't match?
|
My niece sent me a picture of the wall so I would know what color.
