In this catalog, the colors appear much different than in reality. I ordered a French tan tie that I thought was much darker, but was barely different from sand. The green also appears much darker than it really is.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your e-mail. We make every effort to have accurate color in our catalogs, but between photography and printing, things happen! We use our chap colors as the base for all other color work- if you ever need a swatch for an exact color match, we can certainly do that- just ask. Even black has shades- if you don't believe that, try printing a catalog- it might just drive you nuts!

Seriously- thanks for your comments- you are welcome to write or call for a swatch, and also your Hobby Horse dealers all have physical swatches of the chap colors too.
