The Royal Horticultural Society produce an extensive colour chart that's used by gardeners/flower breeders to describe exact shades of foliage,stem, petals etc. Each colour/shade has four separate shade swatches including degrees of greying, hence the odd numbers by the name of the colour. These two swatches are matched up to the shades in my copy of the R.H.S colour charts...
 
I know that peoples monitors can show things differently but before anyone asks, no you can't have any scans of the originals. They cost me a small fortune and if your as bloody anal as I am regarding shades you won't mind the price.  |
Alex, you are probably the only person I know who is more of a dweeb than I am. You sad, sad man.
