Interesting thread and thanks for starting it.

Side question for Barb and any others with the knowledge: do the weaving (and dyeing) companies use or recognize the Pantone color scales and IDs? It would seem that using them could eliminate a lot of color
discussions during planning, i.e. "please match Pantone 17-0627" instead of "sort of a yellow-y olive but not too flat."

Pantone does have a separate catalog for "Fashion and Home" including references for dyed cotton.

Just wondering, and thanks!
