Boy, have I got a deal for you Herb! (only if you have the Dakota catalog).
On page 2-3 or 3-4--anyway, the front of the catalog, Dakota shows all their
colors like a color charg and they are listed by name and number. When you
look at a design and it has the color, it is listed by their color name.
Example: Lt Lt Gray---their color is actually named Lt Lt Gray. They also
have colors such as MTurquoise 2---that is the color they list for their
design. They just don't use very "creative" color names. Ya just need their
catalog---ahhhhh, marketing tool huh?

The colors represented in the Dakota collection are kind of generic in my
opinion. For an example it is up to you to decide what a "dark gray" is. I
usually have to try several colors to get the desired results. It would be nice
if they would pick a thread manufacturer then use those color numbers in their
designs. We could then use our color matching software to get closer to what we
are seeing in their catalog. Then there is also the scenario where we change
all the colors to suit ourselves. Nothing is perect. Just my Sunday morning
opinion.

Does anyone use ARC thread? I'm having a hard time matching up colors to
the Dakota designs. Does anyone have a list that they use to best match up
your ARC colors? I have colors picked out that I like best for certain colors,
red, blue, green, etc.... It's the other colors I'm having trouble with, like
taupe, tan, rust, and lights and darks of colors. Thanks for any help!
