    I have no trouble finding all colors...brights, lights, pure, muted, blends, whatever. I have several local shops, Keepsake Quilting included, and between them all, there is an unlimited selection of colors.

    I never have to buy batiks online and really appreciate being able to see and feel them in person before I purchase. Spending my money locally makes it all that much better. ;)

    I had trouble finding a nice beige batik or a nice pale green. Blues,purples and greens are everywhere.

    Creams and light taupes are the hardest for me.

    Gray or silver, with no other coloration! It's been a nightmare finding a decent print with no brown, purple or blue veining....I'm not giving up though!

    I'd like to see more pastel neutrals. Some of the ones I see look "dirty" or grayish to me.

    Lighter colors are harder to find. Pinks also.

    Truthfully -- the color I am currently looking for.

    For me the hardest batiks to find are true blacks that are not solid.

    I also agree, that reds, yellows, and grays are up there on my list.

    The trend I see in stores are that they either stock batiks that are primarily very bright or heavily lean toward the darker nature tones. So shops that cry other color ranges grab my attention.

    MY LQS has an excellent selection of Batik - that said, I see very little in grey, or black.
