    I called Waterford and might request the paint chart after Christmas - they do require a pretty good deposit but they do refund it. We did have a good talk about what a couple of these colors look like so I do have some things to consider. I think that I am going to have to limit myself to a selection from 5 recent colors otherwise I will NEVER make my mind up in 3 weeks...or 3 MONTHS

    Apparently the Cinnamon Candy over Copper is a beautiful and very dark/rich copper that is very deep, and she said the Candy Plum over Charcoal Silver is darker than the Purple Pearl. Decisions, decisions - though I think I do want a pearl.

    Interesting. The purple pearl plays darker on my monitor than the candy plum, or perhaps its that their photos are good representations. Keep us posted as to your five so we can live vicariously through you.

    At least you have some pretty ones to choose from. Are you going to get a steel fork to match?
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Yes, I am going to get a steel fork to match. I had toyed with the idea of going to the more expensive colors and getting a 2 or 3 color blend, but I don't need to go that far to suit my desire for rich vibrant color. In case someone would like to see some of these colors, there is a drop-down menu here where you can see them.

    My 5 are as follows, in no particular order. Ok, so there are 6 colors, what's another color among friends?

    Pearl in Black - pearly little black dress
    Purple Pearl
    Candy Plum over Charcoal Silver
    Cinnamon Candy over Copper
    Sunset Red over Fine Gold/ Silver w Black Decals
    Orange Glow over Sterling Silver

    Those are all really pretty choices--and pretty close to my own preferences(if only I was getting a Gunnar, too!) I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. The matching fork will really look nice, too. I tend not to like the look of a carbon forks on pretty steel frames.

    OOOh, what fun! Those are so pretty! I looked at many of them. I think my top three are (in no particular order):

    Orange Glow over Sterling Silver
    Champagne Poly
    Sunshine Yellow over Pure Gold

    But there are many others I'd be perfectly happy with. Lucky you!
