HearthSong playsilk - red looking like orange?

[stefani]

I ordered a few play silks / china silks from HearthSong recently. One of the colors I ordered was red. When it came, it looked orange. I e-mailed them and they sent me another one. Today the replacement arrived, and... it still looks orange!

Anyone ordered red playsilk from them? Does yours look red or orange?
And no, I am not color blind :-)

TIA.

I ordered the red and orange playsilk from Hearthsong. My red looks just like your red and the orange is a lighter orange. The colors are just not as bright making the red look like orange without a comparison next to their orange playsilk.

HTH.

Yep mine is like an orange/pink. But for $5.00 I won't complain :)

OK, since two people also said that the red is actually more like dark orange or even orange/pink then that is how Hearthsong's red china silk is.

I like red, so I had wanted red playsilk (among other colors) and had expected it to be red, not orange... o well... I guess I'll have to find a real red play silk somewhere else.

Thank you very much for your replies, I appreciate it. I wondered if I was losing my eyesight, LOL!

Yep, our pink, orange and red all look about the same... a bit disappointing...

How did you buy a china silk from Hearthsong for $5? On their website, each one is $10.95.

Thanks.

They had a $4.99 sale before Xmas.
