Something like this? PG (Pumpkinglo) enough? (I did some photoshopping on a overly orangey picture of a FG).

But, nothing beats a 360 in the darker FGs (except a JG of course)!

I have to agree that the 81 colour range looked most impressive.

I have a selfish motive in not wanting to see Desert Gold, Blueburst or Amber Fireglo resurrected - they are all fantastic colours, but I am lucky enough to have some Rics in these colours, which makes them that bit more exclusive and therefore valuable. For some reason, I am less keen on other COYs, including Blueboy and Montezuma Brown.

I would certainly support Ruby, or what about a rich off-white colour such as Champagne, which would look stunning when set-off by a combination of gold and Black Trim binding, pickguards, bridge/pick-up covers & TRC?
Santa visits only once a year, but Santa Ana delivers Rics all year round.

How about "Berryburst" or "Merlotglo"? I was calling this "Mink" but that really doesn't describe it well.

You ought've asked Santa for a new display - if that colour's caramel, then your caramel's gone bad :lol: :D
