Creme color darker than I thought...
I bought this shirt last week and it arrived today, and the creme color is a lot darker than it looks in the photos. Now I don't know if I want to buy another shirt that I really like that's modeled in white, because the girly shirt is creme.

It looks like it really is white in a lot of the photos - was the original print of this shirt white for girly shirts too, and only the reprint is creme or something?

I can't wait til Threadless puts out their own shirts, since the guys and girls shirts will be the same color.

I think it's just the lighting in the photos. Another one with a creme shirt:







the one that you posted is taken in natural light, the second is indoors.

I was going to post a photoblog comparing creme and natural today! ... but my creme shirt is in the wash. And I guess it would have been too late for you anyway.



But yeah, creme is kind of not a very nice colour. But natural is scratchy until it's been washed a couple of times, and it's got polyester in it...

mm, I like creme. I look terrible in white and the creme color just goes much nicer with my coloring.

Fair enough. It makes me feel like I look kinda sallow. But some people say it looks good on me. Guess it's just a personal thing.

Yeah, I guess the lighting is what messed me up. I don't mind the creme color for this design, but I wanted to get Water, Just Water too, and the blue in it just looks really weird on creme to me. I guess it's different with every design.



And the creme sort of blends in with my skin, which doesn't help much.

Mine too, ish. Though I'm a bit paler than it.



Also: You just made me like Water, Just Water. I never did before but then I had a proper look at it after clicking that link and now I think it's cool. The bird saying "I can't sing" makes it.

Yeah, so, I think they might have screwed up on my Impossible Love shirt.



Look at my two photos:

Impossible Love

Water, Just Water



Both are creme girly mediums. I got the Impossible Love shirt two weeks before I ordered Water, Just Water. I know the lighting is a little different for the two photos, but you can still tell the difference - Impossible Love almost looks skin colored, doesn't it?



So yeah, I think they might have messed up on my Impossible Love shirt. I can't return it now though - I've already washed it a few times.

Whoa. Bizarre.



However, there's nothing you could do about it even if you hadn't washed it - it's AA's fault rather than than Threadless'.
