The colour swatch is crap, almost grey. Equinox ◑ 18:43, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * It could be your monitor or your Windows settings. To me, the swatch looks fine. —Stephen 18:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I compared it with a lot of images that Google turns up for "saxe blue" (clothes, etc.) and those are a much paler colour. Equinox ◑ 18:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * When you dye fabrics with a dye of a certain color, the fabric itself affects how the color comes out. In clothing, colors are rarely very close to what you’d see in a color chart. If you look at house paints, you will see a much bette representation of the color. Here is a color chart site with saxe blue near the top: http://tx4.us/mr/mr336.htm ... looks like ours to me. —Stephen 19:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
