The Many Colors of the Whippet

[GWD]

It's for sale (non-auction) on a web-site. Is it okay to post the link? There are plenty of pics...and it's definitely described as a Whippet.

I don't think you can post the auction. But if you have access to the pictures, it wouldn't be a problem to post them here.

I did a quick and dirty scan on the lounge for Whippets and collected them all and put them in an Album. Taking in account for all the different lighting variables, I put them in an order of similar colors. I think 24 is very possible considering the slightly different shades shown here. Also, the different ribbon and binding colors may qualify as color variations too.

Here is the Album.

GWD -- thanks for taking the time to do this! :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Some more colors...

It is always challenging to take photos that truly capture the color of any given lid. I am really pleased with how these turned out. These photos were taken outside today, but, because it was somewhat overcast, the flash came into play. Although I have posted photos of these lids before, these are the best results I've had in terms of accurately representing their true colors...

Cheers,

This may be the same as GWD's darker brown. I know that tortswon has a blue or blue/grey that he received from me. Maybe he'll post it.

I'd like to see the liner and the sweatband on that straw!

Just got off the phone with the seller, and it turns out the description and hat were mis-matched. So, no mythical 'straw Whippet'.

Not a problem at all. It would be cool if everyone could submit the re order numbers too to see how similar they are.
