Re: RHS Color (Colour) chart

**"* <p*@mindspring.com>**

Andrew and all,

While it's a lovely tool, I've found that there's so much variance in flower 
color due to climate, growing conditions, light level, light angle,  etc. 
that it doesn't serve any better than a DMC or other thread (floss) chart. 
The DMC chart is a lot less expensive, too.

What am I missing?

Daryl
