Can someone do me a colour check please?

DMC 3021 - The one I have looks like dark grey to me, on the chart I am doing it says it is dark brown. I have looked online and some pics have dark brown and some look more like this dark grey lol

Would appreciate it if someone could check their thread stash to see if it is dark grey or not, or whether I made a mistake and got 2 skeins mixed up grrrrr

It's 'very dark brown grey' according to the thread tracker app I have!

Maria you have an email

Soulie I'm afraid I don't have any of that colour either

23rd I love fairies so I would be more than happy to look after some for you

I still haven't done any stitching but I did discover why I'm so tired, my boobs hurt and I feel sick all the time...:D

Soulie - I've checked and it's a very dark browny/grey colour. Here's a photo but not really sure if it helps.

Thank you, yes it does kinda look like that. I will take a pic tomorrow when there is better light to see what you think. But mine defo looks more 'grey' than 'brown'.

I've spent the day - with my friend helping me, sorting all my stitchy stash and realised that I have duplicates of a lot of charts and not got others that I thought I did.
Anyway I was wondering if I put up a list of the ones I need and the ones I have, if anyone would like to do some swaps?
I need:
Lavender & Lace:

Angel of Autumn,
Celtic Spring * These are the two
Celtic Christmas * that I want the most
Celtic Winter

I have to swap/sell/whatever - they're all unused!:
Told In a Garden: Baby In A Basket
Lavender & Lace:
Angelica
Angel of Grace
Angel of the Sea
Angel of Freedom
Angel of Light
Angel of Spring
Angel of Summer
Guardian Angel
In the Arms of an Angel
Morning Song
O Christmas Tree
Peace Angel
Queen Anne's Lace
Sweet Dreams
The Bride
The Wedding

I do hope that someone has some they want to swap, as with so many here I cannot possibly justify buying them!
BTW I have lots of other kits and things that I would be happy to swap for the charts on my wanted list.

Hi I have the Angel of Autumn L&L if your interested. It is the Chinese version with the colour chart, but its the full kit with all the material, threads etc. I'll post a pic of it later (IU only came on to check email!). I'd be interested in the Angel of Summer chart, but would you maybe swap a couple in return??

Yes obviously if it's a kit then I wouldn't expect you to swap for just one chart.
However, I've not had any dealings with these Chinese kits. Are the threads a well known brand, or are they unknown?
Maybe if you can post a piccie then I'd also have a better idea of the chart too.
My other concern, is that if I want to stitch them as a set, then I'd have to try and match the fabric too.
