What I don't get is why some places need two different shades of light green but don't have any dark green. Plus, they CALL it light blue, but look at the enlarged image of towels that color. It's nowhere near Carolina blue. It's kind of a slate blue gray color.

Now you know the truth here if you think about it. There's blue and there's BLUE. It's all about selling it. The manufacturers and designers have to change the colors to keep selling new stuff whether people need new stuff or not.

Second. We've had Lands End towels for years and have been impressed. My wife also bought a buncha towels from JC Penney during one of the "white sales" many years ago and they have been soft and durable (NOT Do-able- :)) =)) ), too.
I THIRD that!

I swear by bleach and vinegar. You can extend their uses with a little baking soda, borax, or fresh lemon juice. No need for all those other harsh chemicals.
