Home Depot Can Color Match Anything

orchidspider Jul 01, 2008 11:08 AM

My step mother upon seeing my female blairs, commented that her orange would look great in my new condo. Well I agreed and took my snake to my local Home Depot. I held the snake up to the color matching computer, and here is the result. The guy said in his 20 years working in paint he'd never seen anything like it. I think it tured out well!

Unfortunately, it reminds me of that ugly color that all of us Aggies hate. Burnt orange! It looks good on the snake though.

That's pretty funny... All you need now is some gray and black borders and you will be all set!

Don't post the color code on here. Hollister and a few other nuts will be buying it up and painting sticks to put on the cuts.

another pic, this one is better- granted she is a generic, but how am I supposed to turn down a nice gift like her from a good friend?

Wow, that looks very similar to my personal assosiation of a perfect blairi. I "love" these wide orange bandings.

bonsai you have in such great numbers. I'm impressed. What locale is that animal? Jeez, look at what I'm turning into. Nice snake of course, and the Home Depot folks must've been ecstatic about having a snake in their store. Hah!

I just read the prior post about her being generic. But nice animal and I second that post about the black and gray trim. The ladies dig that stuff....
