Always glad to be of service, Eric. :)

David, you're right - there's not a hint of a greenish undertone to be seen on the finished Silvermist hat. The small felt swatch played tricks on my eyes.
Great color, Silvermist.

Exceptional, Rabbit - I like the Dove felt more everytime I see a new one.

I wish it was available in the ArtLite felt, I'd get one for sure.

You've put together a super collection of Works of Art!

I wish so, too. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Dove is Art's most versatile color for those who like wearing grey hats.

Amazing contrasts. Thanks for posting those.
With all of them together, I'm really impressed with the silver belly, and especially the color of its binding.

VS felt color comparison: Silvermist, Silverbelly, Dove & Blue Smoke


On gqmagic's request, here's a comparison of these lighter colors. For some additional information about the ribbons, see last pic.
The pictures were taken in natural light, late afternoon, indoors in a well-lit room next to some large windows.
As always, the pics are generously sized - blow them up to see more details.

From eleven o'clock, clockwise: SB, Dove, Blue Smoke, SM:
