    Swatches of Warbonnet fabric?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get swatches of Warbonnet's fabric to help with making color decisions? I'd gladly pay for some swatches since I see a Blackbird XLC in my future, and they definitely didn't have these colors back when I got my Ridgerunner - I have some decisions to make!

    There's a thread about Wookie fabric selection where MuadDale in post #6 says they have gotten fabric samples from Warbonnet:

    Ooh, good info, thanks. I had been looking for threads about the new colors, hoping to see pictures people had taken at home (to get a perspective of the colors in different lighting conditions), but I hadn't seen that thread.

    Someone on the Hammock Forums FB group asked about the "dark foliage green" hammock color and I posted this closeup of my Ridgerunner in that Dream-tex nylon color. To my eye, I only see green when it's in direct sunlight, otherwise it's more of a dark bluish green slate color. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I like it.

    The charcoal grey is very strange. It will change from purplish to grey to brown.

    Here's a shot showing...I don't know...brownish? Shot under good lighting too.

    Canadark is correct, all it takes is a quick email to WB requesting a sample of a few fabric colors and weights you're considering and they'll send it right out. Couldn't have been easier and it really helped me to decide what to order.

    For me, it worked out to be:

    Diamondback with Ocean Blue 15d ext & footbox / Dark Red 15d int.

    Wookie with Ocean Blue 15d ext and Olive Green 20d int.

    For me, the 10d seemed a little too thin and flimsy so I'm really glad I got samples ahead of time because I was considering it.

    Oh, wow, that's looks like almost the same color as my Ridgerunner, which is olive brown! Bizarre.

    Wow, that looks like ocean blue or something. That's the reason why I wanted to get swatches - I bought an evergreen Thunderfly in the last Black Friday sale, and the color is much darker than I had expected - more like I would have expected dark foliage to be. It's an awesome tarp, but I'd like to be able to make a more informed decision on future purchases.
