That's right - hundreds of ideas and names for that old, dusty white...I had no idea there were so many ways of describing a color - Pantone are you out there!? It's almost impossible for me to choose just a couple - so I have asked some creative types to help me out with this...and although it was tough, these are the names that kept coming up: Brocante Blanc, Waxen White and Winter Linen. Thank you everyone for submitting such creative stories and colors - I see a whole book filled with antique color descriptions!  If the lucky winners e-mail me their information, we will put a jewelry kit in the post asap!  Merci!
