Yes, it works great as long as you are holding in your hands and can compare it directly to the flower in question. Trying to replicate something similar on a computer monitor has proven to be unworkable.

Do you happen to have a link to it, Leslieray? I'm just curious.

These are probably the RHS color charts. I'm sure they are copyrighted and are not free!

I mentioned this because it would be confusing to start anew when there are names established for colors that are standardized. It's like trying to reinvent the wheel. The Azalea Society of America did their own chart but used RHS for reference and made notes where that color was not yet possible to match digitally. It's unwieldy but keeping to a standard color reference is as important as latin is as the language of science and we can all communicate accurately.

Thanks Connie.

Wow ... 199 pounds, or 199 euros ... either way, wow.
