    Charcoal grey vs Titanium grey (and a couple other color questions) for UQP

    I'm looking at the 2qzq underquilt protectors, and I'm having difficulty telling the difference between charcoal grey and titanium grey. Is the titanium grey a little lighter?
    Also, under the "Additional Information" tab, it lists the "Galactic Space" print as one of the colors - has anyone ever gotten a printed fabric underquilt protector? A galactic print UQP might look pretty good against a purple hammock.
    Last question - "Dutchalicious Pink" looks like a dusty rose pink in the picture - does anyone have something in this color and can confirm?

    Thanks!

    Titanium grey is lighter than Charcoal grey. It's basically the standard grey you'd find in a box of Crayons. I prefer the look of Charcoal grey myself. But that's all personal preference.
    I do not have any experience with printed fabrics, so no help there.

    If you email them directly, they will probably be able to answer your questions. You can purchase Argon 90 color samples if you want to be sure of the standard colors. They have answered my questions quickly and I have emailed them multiple times with questions about the Print2Fabric prints.

    Okay, thanks! Do you know which would be closer to the charcoal grey you get from Ripstop by the Roll? I love their charcoal grey, but after being disappointed with Warbonnet's charcoal grey (very dark and kind of brownish for some reason?) I'm a little nervous about non-RBTR charcoal grey colors.

    Yeah, I was hoping to pull the trigger today so wouldn't want to wait for color samples, but I might email them. Thanks!

    I believe the Argon charcoal grey from DW should be pretty close to RSBTR. I have Dark Olive gear made from both fabrics, and there is a little bit of a difference (the Argon is slightly darker, has a more green tint, whereas the RSBTR has more olive and is a little lighter), it's not so great that the two clash. You wouldn't really notice the difference with a general glance.

    Not sure if this applies to their Charcoal Grey's, but that's my experience at least.

    Charcoal usually like a light black.
    Titanium grey is more silvery.

    My DIY tarp here is charcoal.

    I’ve ordered both, and the above comments are definitely correct. The charcoal gray is darker. The titanium gray was much lighter - light enough that I could see the down through it. It’s a pretty color, but much lighter.

    Hmm, my charcoal gray Dream Hammock Sparrow is definitely fairly light in color - the gray of charcoal after it's been burned. It's a really nice color, but it seems like charcoal gray can vary quite a bit between manufacturers.
