Re: Color Help

Hi Jim,

I agree, the color, #ff5200 is much too red looking..

I viewed the color in IE5 with a Sony Multiscan 520GS
monitor.

>From your list of colors,

The only color I can see that might be somewhat
questionable is #FF9966. That one seems slitely more
pinkish than orange to me... But all of the others
look perfect to me...

Tell them that 9 out of 10 (smart) people said their
color looks RED !!
