Question 5 color fabric sample!?!?

Hey Doug,

You are matching colors from a 5 color fabric sample. The 5th color (lilac) is there in the photo on the right side touching the pink polygon. The 4 colors you lifted from this photo are different from the 4 colors used by Fokker.

Ya, thanks....I saw that also, but felt like I was being a winey so and so.
There is that bothersome fifth color between the China Blue and the Blonde.

I figured Doug wouldn't want to play with me any more if I over did it.

M. G. Taylor,

My first impression of Doug's sample also was that there was a seam down the middle. After looking more closely, I noticed that the pattern was continuous. It is more likely that it is a rib location.

Well the Four Color was developed or rather evolved from the 5 dolor Loz. The 5 color Came First. SO it follows the two are close.

Ah a Rib Line yes I see it. But also see the Cloth strip on this side ? COuld that be the underside of the Fabric ie on top of the Rib and under the fabric. The COnservatory photos show I think the same thing with stciching holes on the top side and the linen strip on the underside ?

Yours Mike
