I think my monitor colors are off. I am fiddling around with listing templates. What color do you see as background to the listing and store header and left navigation on this listng:

I see a light beige. It's very similar to color of the pool deck on the postcard shown.

THanks. I was going for a kind of light khaki-beige-grey. My laptop shows it with bluish tones. Anyone else?

Light grey for me too with bluish tones.
On my monitor it's nowhere near the color of the deck on the pool.

I also see no beige or brown tones, my view is almost white also, but tinted lightly with the blue-gray

Well I guess it isn't my two machines then - buyers will see it any which way. I guess that's how buyers get disappointed because colors aren't as expected. Hopefully all the versions go ok with the blue (sounds like they are all neutral enough). Thanks folks.

I see beige, in my yarn colors it would be called "clay".

Maybe it's my oldish eyes but I see definite grenish shades.

LOL blue eyes - I have been playing with the colors in my storefront and in the listings I did tonight - kind of hard when you aren't quite sure what others see! I think it is a more greenish khaki now (I need to have the storefront blend with all the other templates I have in my store)

No wonder sometimes buyers complain that the item "isn't the same color as pictured". Maybe, if color is a major issue, we should note a disclaimer in our listings saying something like "the color may vary depending on your monitor".

blueyes: I sell knitting yarn and color is important, and I always put a disclaimer in my listing. I have a hard time describing colors.

I think you're very smart, amber, to do that...especially with yarn. For most of what I sell, exact color isn't an issue. But, if, in the future, I do have such items, I'll certainly remember this topic and modify my descriptions accordingly. Thanks go neglus for starting the thread!

Background I see is light gray with ever-so-slightly bluish/green cast.
