BeRedded (which I like as a name for a lot of reasons, none of which have any basis in reality but just because it sounds like other words that I think are good words like bewed, and bewedded and bereft but I digress). Anyway
this is a base of Quince 1407 and 1411. I like those two as they're faded reds, and although the same color family in reality they're two different color families. Then I wet sprinkled BitterBloom 4447 and Gandy 1111.
It's exactly what I was going for - if it's what you wanted I don't know. Smile

Very nice color.

The sprinkling gives it unexpected color patterns, which seems essential to any 'skanky' color.

This might be enough to (once again) tempt me out of my attempts at frugality.

Shocked Okay, can you get emotional over a color? I mean really. I bet it's not normal (well duh) but seeing that big pick almost brought happy tears to my eyes and it's not even over-emo week...

I LOVE this color.

It's nice. Beredded? Good color, very strange name Vikki. Kind of close to some creepy words.
Kind of reminds me of strawberries past their prime, but then that's not a very pretty image either. But a good color to have. I think I'd use it.

Can you do one even darker, same thing but darker? A dreaded beredded??

The big picture really shows up the subtle variations wonderfully. This looks like a wonderful color.
