Default Bronze Herl
This maybe a stupid question, But a lot of patterns call for Bronze Peacock Herl, Is this supposed to be bronze in colour ?, I have seen Bronze Herl advertised and it looks Green to me.

It's just normal herl that's been left in the sun. The UV bleaches the greens and shimmery blacks to bronze. Leave it on a bright windowsill on the summer and it'll bronze up nicely.
