I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out which glaze this is. It is blue-green and I am partialy color blind.

Here are some pictures with it in my 70's green bathroom and then in the blue bathroom.

I've never seen color changes like those on any Frankoma I've sold.

If you have a cloudy day coming up, take it outdoors and try it there. That may be the truest color.

P.S. What color does your wife think it is, assuming she's not partially color blind. . . .

Hi Roadie, I am the wife <g>

I know it is unusual for women to be color blind. I am not completely color blind but there is a range of blue/greens that I seem to have trouble with. Mostly the aquas and teals.

The blue bath picture with no flash is such a different color because that bath has a mix of flourescent and incandecent bulbs and no naturl sun. Everything in there seems to take on a yellow tint .

The green bath has natural sunlight so colors show truer in there.

The problem with determining Frankoma glaze colors is that they used so many and I can not find enough exampples on the web. There is a list of names but no examples on the collects website http://www.frankoma.org/glaze.html

I thought it might be Woodland moss. It definetly has more blue than the Prarie Green but all of the woodland I have seen is applied over a lighter shade of brown.

Whatever it is, this is very hard to find color!

You might look under Replacements Ltd. click along the side and it will show you the colors. Maybe you can see yours.

Thank Neil. I tried that the other night.

It must just be a variation of the Woodland Moss. This piece has a much dark brown than the ones I can find.

I would not have mormally even bothered asking but it has 6 watchers already and I suspect the TIKI buyers are on to it.

I love TIKI buyers!

Complete color "blindness" (unless yer of the canine persuasion) is extremely rare, but color "anomalies" affect around 10% of men, but only approximately 1% of women...

My Dad is completely color blind in the green and red ranges. He says they all look different shades of brown to him.
