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.bjornolf wrote:I think light colors are just "in" this year. We got a very nice set of Navy ones a few years back that have faded to a nice Duke blue. ;) It's all about what's "in". 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.
So, I need towel advice...

Re: So, I need towel advice...
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.Ima Facultiwyfe wrote:Having spent the last year dealing with infections, I believe in BLEACH more than ever Therefore, I beleive in WHITE linens for the bath and kitchen.
