Anyone got access to the full version? Am trying to settle a dispute

about
a
white rose 'La Perle' and am having trouble persuading someone there is

more
than one shade of white! and that 'La Perle' is not a yellow rose. If I

am
to quote numbers I would as soon they be correct :~)
(I just remember there are pages of them, broken down into green whites,
cream whites, blue whites etc)

According to this link, there's an 884 colour three fan version for
£135, yes £135 and a one fan simplified version for £25

On the other hand printers and others use the Pantone colour system
and there are plenty of free charts for that on the Internet.
And from graphics suppliers.

Not much help in other words

Thanks for the thoughts but I sort of need it to be more "Official" if you
know what I mean, The other party is adamant its a yellow rose, I disagree
but proving a colour is not that easy as most flowers are shades and
although I do not have a set of colour charts (you have seen the price!)
that's what they were made for.
