I say if you find on thats perfect, search the color name for others in the same </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992556 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 08:11:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1992556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rhubarb--that's a good descriptor. I think these words often get attached to other colors, so I like bringing them back to the actual thing, like cobalt. "Rhubarb" is perfect. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992511 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 02:42:47 +0000 Anonymous 1992511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color of the Express pants is probably visually darkened by the black(?) check. The last find looks rhubarb to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992347 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 17:35:34 +0000 rachylou 1992347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, what are we looking at? The plaid pants in the attached photos? One of the finds? If just the colours, all would work together tonally... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992200 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:55:07 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1992200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG, SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992196 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:50:06 +0000 Helena 1992196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, I think part of the challenge with these tones is also they way we understand the names, which of course is different one person to the next ... my sister and I once had a very too-long conversation about whether something was in fact "raspberry" or not lol! I almost wish they would show us the colorwheel with a little arrow to the color they are marketing ... at least we'd know a little better what to expect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992193 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:47:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1992193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krishna, those are my favorite too (the dark plaid, right? I just with they were baby bellbottoms) I'm so surprised the others don't look red. To me they look deep red, the actual color of a cherry (not the thing manufacturers give us as "cherry red") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992186 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:41:41 +0000 krishnidoux 1992186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would get the plaid ones. Waist height is more current, slim legs look like they'd be flattering, and the color scheme most matches your description. Plaid is huge now. I have a pair of flanel leggings and they are well used. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992185 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:41:10 +0000 Anonymous 1992185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh. &nbsp;Those pants are definitely not red on my monitor.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992184 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:39:05 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1992184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toronto Girl, Sterling, and Gretchen, thank you very much! On my monitor, the Express pants look like they are cherry red. I might need to reset my colors if they are really berry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992178 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:31:31 +0000 Anonymous 1992178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am agreement with both <b>Trontogirl</b> and <b>Gretchen</b>. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Express pant is a berry on my monitor.</p> <p>Bordeaux is a maroon or burgundy in my opinion. &nbsp;</p> <p>This is a challenging hunt you set for yourself. &nbsp;You are bound to misled by monitor colors and/or naming practices. &nbsp;Do not let that discourage you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992175 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:03:23 +0000 Gretchen 1992175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, bordeaux tends to be closer to maroon or burgundy than berry.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992174 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 23:01:01 +0000 Helena 1992174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tricky with monitors, isn't it? I think lilac is going to skew pretty purple; the pants in finds all look like they fit what you're looking for. Fwiw, I love the Express color; to me that's a true berry. The others might skew a little too purple or red IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picking-berries#post-1992162 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 21:59:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1992162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the colors that work for me when I see them, but online, I could use the help of other sets of eyes on other monitors. I want cherry, blueberry, red raspberry, blackberry, and permutations in between. I'm searching for purple and pink. Which should I order? Article descriptions say lilac, berry, aubergine, purple, and Bordeaux. Any suggestions appreciated! </p> </p> <p>eta--&nbsp; If I get the pants in the photo, it would be pants only, not the full suit. Goal is to have various shades of berry in the closet, to mix &amp; match.</p>
