I need to order some solids and like Kona....but I am just not sure about the shades. I need a bright red....like a primary red, basic black and white. Is there anyone who can help me with the shade of red I need? Just not sure if it is tomato red, cherry red, chinese red.....geez, so many choices! I was just handed a repair job and I don't have any of the original fabrics, nor do I remember what the shade was. And nobody close to me carries Kaufman Kona, so I have to order.

Fabric Shack will sell 1/8s of a yard (or at least, they did awhile ago). I would just order 1/8s of any that seem like a possibility. It is my experience that no website consistently has accurate representations of color across the board, so I very rarely buy a large amount without buying smaller amounts to audition first.

Here is what I did. I took a little of my fabric and sent this to Fabric.com (because I bought my fabric from this) to make sure that I was buying the same fabric. This matched it perfect. Here is what the told me. Every bolt of fabric can be a little different. So when you buy you have to look at the bottom of bolt to make sure it comes from the same dye lot. Thank God my did.
