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.

I notice on your website, which I came across totally by accident
there's a picture -

http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk/roses/rlaperle.htm

along with the description "creamy white deepening toward the
centres".

That description seems fair enough to me.

If that's how it was described at the time they bought it
then they don't really have a leg to stand on IMO.

What are they suggesting - that they send it back and get
a refund or something ?

IME, honest but stubborn and misguided\stupid people can
be a bigger pain in the neck than outright crooks - as
they really do think they have right on their side.
And its often impossible to explain things to them and
get them to change their minds. Although your mileage may
vary. It's just fortunate that such people form a very
small minority overall.
