Optimo "Thunder grey"

[metropd]

Does anybody know if the the "thunder grey" 2010 color of Optimo hats has a bluish, or brownish hue or cast to it?

Not to correct you Sir, but 2 1 you mean? [huh]

 

[metropd]

Thank you. What is your assumption from your monitor?

I am so confused.:eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh:

Elegant charcoal...

Seriously, dark grey, judging from the ribbon contrast.

I fancy the Glacier...seriously nice. But that one you like is a classic...

Optimo will send felt samples if requested.

I am not asking how light or dark the grey is, just if the hue is warm or a cool tone.

fftopic: Last time they sent me a swatch it ended up being three shades lighter than the swatch.

Isn't it generally the case that a finished hat will be a few shades lighter than a felt sample indicates since sanding the felt will lighten it?

Yes. I did not know that at the time.

Back to Thunder Grey...
