Inspiration
Atlas Insider: That Hat
Now look: we’ve talked about color and my problems with it before, and I found the commiserating comments heartening, really, I did. But they didn’t make me any less color blind! And while I’m very happy to know that there are so many of you out there who also can’t tell a red light from a green light, it absolutely scares the bejesus out of me that it’s not just me blithely running all the stoplights. “Sorry officer, they all look brown to me!” [cue insouciant wheel-screech-in-the-gravel noise]
I once worked for a company that offered a product in “plum.” We once got a letter from a very nice, very focused customer who went on (and on and on and on) explaining how disappointed she was to receive what was not a “plum” item at all but instead “wine.” For 34 paragraphs, she broke it down for me (and lemme tell you: I do suspect “wine” was definitely involved). After suppressing my initial impulse to reply by quoting Ring Lardner (“‘Shut up,’ he explained.”), I answered her at length with so much vague yet convincing jibber-jabber about the respective vocabularical taxonomies of both science and marketing that I was quite frankly shocked she didn’t have me brought up on harassment charges.
Anyway! MDK recently ran a fun little giveaway where if you sold us your soul, you got a free MDK “Knitter” ball cap (I think that was the deal; I honestly don’t know. I’m not really a fine-print sort of person). The hat only came in two colors: charcoal gray and cream. Or, if you were in a hurry, “dark” or “light.” They were intended to be randomly included in qualifying orders (we had a pretty hefty stack to give away) but exactly 26 of you requested “the blue hat, please.” One of you asked for “the nice green one, to match my favorite sweater!”
Y’all.
There were no blue hats—and there were definitely no green hats. Poor Chris up in the photography mezzanine literally spends 200 hours out of every 24-hour day color correcting photos. And we know he got the photo right this time because the non-blue-requesting balance of you asked for “the charcoal gray hat” and included notes like “I love charcoal gray!” and “Never have I seen a depiction of charcoal gray that was so accurate!” or “You have absolutely defined charcoal gray for me for alll of eternity.” So don’t even start with me on that. It was gray in the photo. Gray gray gray. Gray.
What that means is that this Christmas, approximately 26 of you should ask for your computer monitors to be calibrated. I know that sounds olden-timey—who bothers to calibrate their monitors these days?—but I tell you what: it makes all the difference in the world, especially (thinks of delicate way to say this) if you have an, uh, older model monitor. Does it say COMMODORE on it? ATARI? COMPAQ? Get thee to a calibration-er! Tools require maintenance. You sharpen your scissors, don’t you. Don’t you?
The charcoal gray hat will be back soon, by the way, in a regular-old-purchasable way. So if your hair is flying every whichaway, be ready to jump when we’ve got them. Ain’t gonna be any blue ones, though.
Plus! A Giveaway! Of THIS Hat!
No really, we’re gonna set some lucky person up with this MDK-exclusive, rare, adjustable hat.

This is hilarious! I looked at the photo and thought ” What a soft shade of blue grey – I love that shade for a ball cap! And it says Knitter” , even better!” And then to read about it’s gray, just a nice gray. Ah, the joys of putting color online. I work for the US’s biggest flooring company. We deal with ” What is the real color in that photo?” every day. Ya can’t win.
The color of dusk…after knitting late in the afternoon on a quiet weekend day…getting ready to knit into the evening…that would be charcoal grey…(or “light black”…lol)

This is so funny as I did request the blue hat and not from my computer but my phone. Proud to be part of the “26”!!
The hat is shown in 2 yr old polypay white. 🙂
Cream
There’s a blizzard raging outside. Yes, I know that many people think that that is pretty common for NW Colorado in the wintertime, but it’s not very common where I live. Perhaps that’s why I’m awake and commenting at 4A.
The hat pictured isn’t nearly as white as the rapidly drifting snow. A soft creamy color would be wonderful for next summer in about 4 or 5 months.
Ivory
Same color as my bedroom. White Heron by Benjamin Moore!
It’s a very pretty shade of Cream with the best embellishment embroidered on the front.

Tan
The color is lampshade, with telephone pole wires embroidery. At least that’s what it is from where I’m sitting.
Storm, which is definitely a bluish grey. Knowing Kay’s fondness for blue, it’s not hard to imagine folks leaning that direction. And egret.
Mashed potatoes!
Refrigerator white!
This hat is the perfect color for the snowflakes in a wonderful and warm pair of warm Nordic mittens.
Cream
Marshmallow

Grout Beige?
Banking Snow Clouds?
Snow Falling on Cedars? (Oh wait that one’s a book title…)
Stormy Ocean Foam?
Boat Hull White?
Ball Band Beige? (That most neutral of neutrals so that the color of the ball/skein label doesn’t effect your perception of the yarn color)
The same color as the Model Magic my kiddos love to sculpt with?
Baby bunny tail
Soon-to-be-dirty white
It’s Wonderful White– but not for long!

The giveaway hat is the color of the gorgeous cabled sweater Chris Evans wore in “Knives Out”. 🙂
The hat is definitely a crisp, clean white….Sailor’s dress uniform white, I’d say. But I can’t be sure about the color of the letters: dark blue? Black? Grey? Gray? (Yes, there is a difference.)……please delineate and enlighten me here, DG.
A few lines of interesting jibber-jabber should clarify this, and amuse me at the same time. Thanks!
That hat is the color of my puppy’s tummy
Stone!
Vanilla milkshake.
Plain Vanilla, definitely!
I’d call this hat Cream. Perhaps I’d go so far as to call French Vanilla Ice Cream. (But I must admit, I see blue undertones in the grey hat. Perhaps it’s time to upgrade my original iPad Pro?)
Looks like white to me!
Greek Villa.
That’s a Sherwin Williams paint color.
At least, on my I pad….
The hat is igloo.
Full moon.
And my father quoted that line from Ring Lardner to us ALL the time, generally when we were being annoying! Thanks for the memory.
It comes in handy, like all great literature.
A lovely cream color.

Cream with black lettering – pick me please
That is the exact shade of the darkest suntan I’ve ever had.
Now, if you want to talk about shades of red, I could write a book! The Irish DNA Color Wheel was the inspiration for those round peppermint candies that shred the roof of your mouth.
Ha! I hear you, sister.
Last photo hat is Cream. Top photo is Charcoal Gray.

The pictured hat is white, but won’t stay that way for long!
The person I worked for in my first post-college job was a walking Preppy Handbook ad. (The Lisa Birnbach edition, not the pre-official version published by some of my high school classmates on the school mimeograph machine.) Monday mornings found me fielding telephone calls from women asking to speak to “the preppy one who was wearing the whale belt.” Regardless of your point of view on the sartorial splendor of Top-Siders (bonus points if they are held together by athletic tape illicitly procured from the gym office) and whale belts, his wardrobe was always coordinated. Then came a week when every outfit was just slightly awry. Clothing was clashing in a way that was not usual. Sometime around Wednesday, I asked if his girlfriend was traveling. He asked how I knew. I said I guessed because his clothes had not matched all week. He explained that relied on her to choose his clothing because he was color blind. For him, most of the colors in the preppy palette were just shades of gray.
So Just Shades of Gray-in honor of color blind preppies (and, more broadly perhaps, color challenged minimalists).
A shade darker than Ship Lap! Vintage Lace?
If it’s a free gift, you can call it anything you wish!
However, when it’s mine, I shall consider it white with dark blue lettering, and enjoy it enormously! Thank you!
I cut about FIFTY sentences that basically said this!
The hat at the end of the article looks cream colored. The other hat was definitely gray. I know this as it matches many of my hair “highlights”
Rice pudding!

Umm…white?

That hat is white! Though I’d accept cream as a suggestion.
A lovely, creamy off white.
Paper coffee cup white
Creamy vanilla

Sandy beige
White a While hat
The cap is a lovely shade of cream, possibly lactose free.
Milky white
Light but who the heck cares!
Milky white
It is the same color of Atlas Yarn Pebble
It does seem to be a warmer charcoal…
Of course, I answered, pre-coffee, about the dark one. The light one is the color of the almond milk I put in the coffee I’m about to go have.
I was hauling out the List of 26 to make an addition….
Both hats are nice. I’d say this one is white but I guess I just assumed the other one had to be on the blue spectrum if Kay was involved. I’m a blue person too so I see blue where maybe it’s not.
White Dove obviously.
Thanks for the laughs! “White adjacent “
This hat is any color you want to dye it!
Hat. It’s hat colored
off-white
Destin sand (the beach in Florida – prettiest sand in the world)
Paradise Beach Cove Sand
That hat is white…or maybe cream…perhaps snowball…or how about pale white girl….could be cotton….or possibly stone…no, wait, it’s cloud…or is it albino..how about foam? I’m sure it’s ONE of those!
I would love to win the Oyster hat! I don’t care much for cream or ecru, but oyster is my jam.
Cream…Most definitely! And D.G., wonderful to have a laugh first thing in the morning!
The color of the hat is “Book.” (I love books so this is a serious compliment.)
My favorite color!
Decker Deck Snow — that hat is the color of Decker Deck Snow. It is the freshly fallen snow on our Minnesota deck. A bit off-white from the dust that settles on everything after farm machinery rumbles down the nearby dirt road. You can see the tiny tracks made by the squirrels and birds running to and fro from the trees around the deck to the feeders. Oh, and there’s some dropped sunflower seeds … what do they spell???
Crème freche
Vanilla icing (without sprinkles, of course)
I like Ginny’s answer, the color of her cat’s tummy. It looks like the inside of my Le Creuset ceramic coffee cup.
Crème fraiche
Bone. Do NOT go check the Benjamin Moore neutrals color chart; it will cause another intergalactic star explosion.
Cream or ivory.
That hat is “cleaned sheep fleece” white, or cream!
Plum
This hat is definitely a Light Cream color. Or White or Light Beige.
Don’t really care….its too cute and I’d be proud as Christmas Punch to wear it on my walks with my MDK knitted scarf!!! Or around the house when I’m knitting but telling others I’m staying home to clean house. Which I frequently do!!!
Merry Christmas.
White but if you had this one you could dye it any colour you wanted
LMAO. It’s the light one – warm milk. The second best color for apparel (the first being black). Have a great holiday season.
Edelweiss weiss
Parchment!
Off-white
White, the one color that looks absolutely horrible on me, so please send me the grey one if I win! BTW, DJ’s post is great, but the comments are hysterical. It’s like when you go to the paint store and ask for “white” paint and they ask you to pick “which white” from about a zillion samples.
Cloudy, just after sunrise. According to my dog.
Definitely the color of the dog hair I vacuum up from my Yellow Lab Louie. It matches perfectly!! So I’d call it……Louie White..
I’m not fond of that blank color and might have to dye it a lovely shade of gray.
cream with a little bit of coffee
Its “Louie White”. The exact same color of the dog hair I vacuum up from my Yellow Lab…..Louie. 🙂
Made me laugh out loud! Is this a test? You said the color was “cream”. I’ll have to agree…
Looks white to me; I want one whatever the color-not plum or wine though, please.
Achromatic snowy pallid alabaster
The hat is the color of the snow that my pups bring into the house, released from between their warm paw pads.

Or is it gray? I never know which one.
Creme colored
Egg shell
Off white
Feather beige
Light
It is quite obvious to me that the hat is unicorn colored. Duh
Cream…. Or perhaps oat milk?
Winter White
That color is “winter butter” ; as opposed to summer butter, which has a little creamier color.
The perfect color of winter butter, melting on hot toast, waiting for a touch of honey or jam or cinnamon sugar, before going out into the gray grey day and hoping you don’t step in a puddle right off!
the hat is blue and black! or is it white and gold???
Natural Beige
Whipped cream. Whipped cream on a mug of hot cocoa.

Auto correct did me in again.
Looks like a light cream. And I LOVE this hat!
Winter white, of course.
Knitter’s neutral.
Works perfectly with shale, seafoam, mallard, pear and all others in the Atlas palette.
Why, the tippy top color of a breaking wave–aka a white cap, of course.
The hat is the color of a sunbeam filtered through light clouds above a calm sea.
Non-literal.
Cream thank you.
The colors are perfectly neutral. They will be ideal with any outfit or hair color or hand knit!! Love the hats!!
Cloud
Color is Frosty
Cream. Just slightly off white
It’s the colour of an ideal, never-worn Aran sweater.
I’d like the bright red hat, please. And no excuses, DG Weak.
Ha ha! I just say it’s a beautiful, velvety gray. Or is it GREY? But now I see some people are looking at the marshmallow hat but whatever color it is it says KNITTER! And that’s the best part of it.
This hat is a creamy white!
The color of my cat’s paws.
The hat is yellow!! 😉
My favorite color: MINE
Milky white
Snowflake
Whipped cream, hold the cherry
“hat that has been worn too long without washing” color.
Obviously plaid. Can’t remember which Highland family it is, but it’s a winter plaid. I definitely recognize that tartan.
Marshmallow???
(Promise, if I win, I won’t TOAST it!!!)
Cream!
Gray. Gray. Grey. Grey. Gray!
What colour is this hat…?
Oh dear, do I say it or is it too soon, too tender at this moment, but OOOH so timely…? Say it? Don’t say it?
((sigh)) Imma gonna say it (& face the wrath of some that I know will be coming, but doggone it, timely & funny, at least to me…)
I think it’s British Royal Whitewash.
There. I said it!
Oh my. You think “charcoal gray” is controversial? Naming white is crazy-making.
Now send me that prized dove-cloud-ivory-whitey hat so I can have fun dunking it in indigo.
Cloud white
Cream.
This hat is bone.
Snow drift
That hat is Cremora, the non-dairy creamer preferred by Midwestern Aunts.
It’s a white hat!
I’m gonna say snow angel white. I do not understand the non literal part of the directions I fear!
It’s the colour of my soul when I finish my current project before starting the next.
off white, before I wear it
The hat is soft cream, with blue- gray lettering.
That hat is Ghost color, for sure!!
creamy vanilla
Ivory
french vanilla!
Looks sheep-colored to me!
The hat is cream. Love the newsletters; they make me think, laugh and cry, sometimes all in the same email. Thank you.
Winter White, right?!? I mean duh
If it was fleece, it’d be natural, undyed. Even though sheep can be dozens of colours! I love the hat, which in this part of Canada is known as a cap!
Heat is cream!
Not Dirty Yet
That color that is not black.
HooRAY to be able to ORDER the GRAY hat! My year has been MADE! A faded denim-y blue WOULD be a very popular option, just saying.. THaNKS for making these available!
Oat Milk
Charcoal Gray
Definitely a Coffee cream!
mid winter snow!
The color of the sky outside my window right now.
This hat is cream!
Porcelain cream, if there is such a thing!
Ecru/eggshell…aka white. I need this hat!
I think one solution to the what color is which hat question might be “Before” and “After.” I am a New Yorker, and I am thinking of that first warm-ish day of the year when I foolishly venture out into the town wearing a pair of light-colored pants.
Cream
From the first snowy night of the year, it’s “Dang-I-Still-Need-to-Clean-Out-the-Fireplace-Ashes.”
Egg Shell White
Clean Sheep – except that sheep are NEVER clean. So maybe it is Fleece After Repeated Washings
. . .
Fantastic article!! Experience routinely!!! Thank you
This is why I love the Pantone matching system*. No descriptive Crayola color names for me! No arguing for 34 paragraphs, it either matches the printed swatch or it doesn’t. It’s still advisable to calibrate your monitor, but know that it will never be totally accurate.
*Don’t love that they removed the swatches from Adobe Creative Cloud applications this year though. Grr.
The color is the color of Tippy Cow my favorite rum tinged coffee add in.
That hat is CREAM color. Thankfully not white!
eggshell
It is perfect,fun and neutral!
Used Play-dough white
The color of a puffin’s chest feathers
Cream or shaded snow
It’s cream! (?)
Looks white to me! I know I maybe looking at the wrong pic.
vanilla ice cream
The hat looks cream to me. And I want one!!
Winter White
Latte foam
the Ivory Soap of my youth.
Cream!
The hat color is kinda like eggnog, or maybe sour cream or, wait, I know, Greek yogurt!!! That’s it. It’s Greek yogurt colored. But wait. Maybe it’s just regular yogurt color. Not Greek. Okay, I don’t know anymore, but it’s definitely a food color.
I like how you think!
Cream
Not-Quite-White
Non-literally speaking, the hat is the is the color of the Asperitas Clouds……
The heavenly shade of this hat shall be “ethereal “ . Why you ask? Knitters have the patience of saints- particularly when faced with complicated patterns that family members have requested or when dealing with (dare I say it?) yarn barf! Yes- that dreaded presentation of delicate yarn strands that now resembles a toddler’s spaghetti dinner. Only a “yarn Angel” would sit tirelessly, carefully weaving the bundle over-under-through until it can again be carefully wound into a ball and knit into something magical. Yes- “ethereal” is the name of this colour in honor of all yarn angels ❤️
Pacific NW Winter Sky
The hat is ANYTHING but MDK orange!
It looks like Ecru to me. I’ve been working on a shades of ecru project in xstitch and I believe there is one close to that. My husband is in IT and we have currently a slew of “Red Hat” hats in the house, both cars, etc..
Cream.
it looks like dark grey lettering on an off-white base; but that could be just my screen….
Faded snow
Linen white
This hat is the color of early morning rays falling across the formica countertop in the old diner, but only if Mildred was the one to clean up last night, not if Jasper said he’d do it, and did his usual slapdash job.
That’s an eyes watering with sentimental tears emoji
Compared to the other hats we have, the color of this one is “clean”
Clotted cream
The hat, of course, is white! Further, you are hilarious! But people are funny too. I’m not surprised that you got the kind of response that you did. Can’t wait for the gray hat to be available, because that’s definitely the one that I want to order. Happy holidays to everyone.
Creamy white!
It looks like it belongs on me!
Sourdough starter. Wait -is that literal? If so, then it is puce.

What is color, really? Who’s to say? It’s all subjective anyway, right? 😉
Dirty white.
Royal White Hair Sheep.
My first instinct is to say cream, however as I am currently working on a product marketing plan, my brain wandered – winter white, Creme Anglaise, Eggshell, Vanilla Ice Cream, Alabaster, Ivory, Meringue, Saltwater Taffy, etc. etc. etc.
I need to get out more! 🙂
It’s whatever color I want it to be because I’ll be wearing it forever!!!
Vanilla frosting

White. Which will dye a nice blue or green
The hat pictured is vanilla bean.
This hat is white!
Vintage Christmas white
That hat is the exact color of all the dog fur covering my dark knits.
Looks like porcelain to me.
Oyster.
Ocean Foam Cream
Vanilla Cream hat with Dusky Stone lettering. Or, possibly, Pale Ripe Banana hat with Bad Storm Coming Get Inside Quick lettering.
I thought it was blue, too, so off to get my almost 10-year old iPad to be color calibrated. But maybe it was because I wanted it to be blue. I can now see that it is charcoal gray. My short hair is always askew so I would love to have a hat. Thanks very much!
That hat is off-white.
Perfection light
Cream with a sprinkle of finely ground cardamom.
This hate is Spring Snow.
Whipped cream!
Oatmeal.
Sourdough on Sunday
The hat is the colour of fresh milk from the cow
The color looks Snowflake white to me. Probably because I have been knitting a snowflake sweater.
No matter the color it says it all – KNITTER!
Limestone.
It looks off whiten to me.
The color is white. The ownership is mine. (I hope…)
Ambiguous White.
Marshmallow!
Navajo white. Antique white… otherwise known as creamy white! Thanks for all the chuckles!!
Eggshell white.
In this day and age the color is whatever you would like to call it, I just don’t have to believe it.
Natural tooth? Pasta al dente? Peeled banana?
Hahaha, those are great!
I hope you win!
The lovely color of the cream before it hits my coffee.
Color. That’s easy. The color of the tuft of fur on the left quadrant, right middle of Baxter’s chest the minute he leaves the groomer’s table, seconds before he hits the pavement in a run for the door and blessed freedom from the evil twins shampoo and blow dryer.
The color so fleeting, so rare that it can only be captured by the color experts (not DG hahahahahaha!) at MDK.
It’s definitely Rambouillet. Darker than Wensleydale, lighter than Masham.
Snowflake white
Oyster shell
Whipped cream with vanilla.
Cream
I would say crème de la crème.
Very glad we will have a chance to purchase the blue hat.
Slightly stale marshmallow

Beige? Cream? Off white? Yes yes and yes!
This hat is my perfect color!

Norwegian dinner

Buttercream frosting
That cute hat for giveaway? I would name that color “Dye Me”.
It’s clearly blue and white!
The color of laundered linen drying on a clothes line, on a hot hazy summer afternoon, the air smelling of fresh cut grass with faint traces of roses wafting on the breeze (I really want to win this hat )
Creamy white – boy would I enjoy wearing this hat!
Polar bear white.
The color of the ashes of those who interfered with my knitting.
Hilarious post! As for the hat, I’m on Team Cream…sounds much more pleasant than bone white.
Marscapone
Vanilla Sugar
Off white!
How hysterical! On my computer the color of the dark hat is a lovely flat navy color blue with grey undertones. And the light one is a creamy white or maybe ‘natural’? Like the undyed wool some of us just love. This is sort of why I prefer to purchase yarn when I can see it in person. Love everyone at MDK! Happy Holidays however you choose to celebrate.
Creamy ivory
It’s good to laugh at ourselves every once in a while! I’m definitely into December production mode and a bit of knitter foibles is more than welcome. My husband and I rarely see colors the same way. He sees green and grey all the time when I don’t. The color issue is bigger than monitors. Too bad we can’t get recalibrated too!
Clearly it’s blue. Or is it gold? Could be a dress, not even a hat
Seriously excited about the hat!!!
Hahaha! Loved your post! Laughed all the way through it, and although I’m sure I need to calibrate my Commodore 64, my hat colour choice is ivory.
lol it’s tan on my screen but then I know colors on my iPad are rarely true! Love the grey blue one!
Love the hat…no matter the color as it is dyeable. The greyish one is nice also. Well for naming the color….Cloudy sky over Trinidad; snowfall white; New England house trim white; snow fox; wooly white; pearl white ceiling;
Belly white
Eggshell white
A lovely cream with sharp indigo print.
White. Honestly, I’d probably buy that hat if it were baby poop brown. It’s that cute and where’s the matching t-shirt?
Dogwood blossom.
I’m voting for cream.
Snowy owl? Birch bark? It’s a great hat!
3 Day Old Snow
Definitely gray or cream. Prefer the gray
Vanilla.
Light
I am going for oatmeal!
All color or no color, depending on how you like your color.
I wear ball caps all the time. When I looked at the picture the caps looked navy blue & cream. The hat in your picture looks grey. I’m lucky because I got a cream hat in my order. I feel so lucky to get any hat. I’d buy a grey one though. Merry Christmas
Winter sky
Baby seal
This hat is Santa’s Beard White and I want one of every color. This is an awesome item to add to the MDK Shop.
Not dyed unbleached!
Not dyed unbleached.
Love your post…hilarious!
I’d love one of those opalescent, knitter caps.
I see one sky blue one with KNITTER on it in cloud white, and one done in the obverse of the first one .
Remember Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House? And Myrna Loy is picking paint colors? That’s this. And since I just pained the LR Calming Cream, so I’ll go with that, even though the paint color has more yellow. The other hat is Slate, which covers a range of murky colors. But let’s not open a can of worms here.
Creamy white
For sure: heavy cream whipped with nutmeg…
The color is perfect. Thanks!
Blue Grey, is it? I am looking on my phone though
The color of undyed wool of course!
Milky white with lettering the color of the sky just before the dark of night.
Color: sheep belly
The Best Hat Ever Made
Washed Navy Blue. Final answer
White
That color,my friend, is “my-Great-Pyranees-mix-rolled-around-in-something-slightly-dirty”.
I believe the color of this hat would be accurately described as: Snowman Poop.
PERFECT!
This fabulous hat is the exact color of what I pour into my coffee cup every morning…
It’s vanilla. Like homemade vanilla ice cream. Which I sometimes float atop hot chocolate. And carefully do not spill on my precious knitting.
Deep Celtic Tan
That’s soft cozy flannel white.
White chocolate.
It’s sweet, not quite white and yummy!
Crean
Sheepskin
Helllllp…helllp…help…I’m down here…in the darn rabbit hole… curious thing though, there’s a pile of hats down here. Look like they used to be white. But call the guys that get kitties out of trees… maybe they can get me out of here.
Ivory, but I love the bluish charcoal hat. Yes, calibration is in my future!!
Ecru? Regardless it’s a great hat!
Creamy vanilla ice cream. With candy sprinkles spelling knitter!
Cream!
Winter white
In my hands, that colour is an Accident Waiting to Happen.
A light tone with darker stitching! Great article. Just be glad dealing with color only and not size too!
Vanilla ice cream, cotton ball, half and half, or book pages. Goodness y’all, my hair needs this hat.
The hat color is vanilla almond milk cream.
Or White.
The pictured hat is definitely an off-white perhaps better called ” lite-cream.”
The word “knitted” looks to me as if is embroidered blue. The blue is fairly dark but not navy.
I hope I win! My old hat is just about dead and badly needs replacing. I’d love to let the world know that I AM A KNITTER! Yay. Yes. Yah.
That hat – to me – looks the color of a nice béchamel…
Steamed milk!

That hat is creamy cream.
It’s the perfect color for me!!

It’s gold or purple. It’s hard to tell. Is it a dress or a shoe?
Whipped cream topping
It’s hard to say with that shot…..it looks like a very light cafe au lait.
Bald eagle head white (adult eagle), white breasted nuthatch breast white, spots on a fawn’s butt white, clean white sheep white, possibly cream but Holstein cream and not say… Guernsey or Jersey cream which is more golden. Could be snowflake white or brand new Hanes t-shirt or unworn athletic socks white or 1950’s starched nurse hat white. Yeah, I guess it’s white.
I want to say white but on close inspection I would say it is very, very, very light grey.
Chalky McWhite
Creamy white
Which hat? 1 or 2?
One is dark and one is light.
I could be more specific,
But what would be the point.

Looks like cream to me!
Marshmallow
Light with dark writing. And is says KNITTER.
The hat it the second pic is Cream color
Coffee creamer
It could be considered a blue- Gray, colonial blue, perhaps, or carbon blue! No need to really focus on the exact color because it’s neutral enough to go with just about anything… It’s perfect
Cream (and the other one still looks blue)
Puffy jacket white
Ivory cloud

Eggy Noggg
Egg shell white… unless, of course, your hen lays green or blue or brown eggs. Then it would be whipped cream.
The hat shown is cream. But I get those who said the charcoal one is blue. It is grey, but it does have a blue undertone. But I do not get green at all.
That hat is not blue!
A shade of white.

It’s a gorgeous charcoal gray! 🙂

I would risk guessing that this is an ivory hat. It would look lovely on my non-ivory, more of a silver, curls

I’m gonna go with champagne bubbles.
Cobweb cream
This was so good. I don’t care about the hat.

Snow
Well, if the hat is FREE, it can any color it wants to be. ROFL 😀

heavy whipping cream
What fun to read all the requests that were made. Who would guess that would even happen. I know my husband often will point to a house and refer to it by color. I look and look, and there is no house by that color!!!! Then when he describes it by location, as in the third house from the corner, at least I know which house he refers to. I began to think it was just a Male /Female discrepancy, then my female friend did the same thing. Guess it’s just me. LOL

The hat is clearly made from marshmallow fluff by a pot smoker who dropped a bit of ash in the fluff as it was being stirred into a cloud.

Most definitely the plumage of the male Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis), flying over the remote frozen tundra of the Norwegian Svalbard.

From one color blind person to another, I say the light one is a light beige, and I’m sorry to say the dark one looks blue to me.

Thank goodness snippets have found me. I recently had to change my email and it’s worse than divorce. No one invites me anywhere anymore.
Button ‘shroom.
This hat is the color of joy! I want one so much :-)!! I want to strut around farmer’s markets and festivals with my hat branding me a KNITTER, sort of like others where hats branding them SECURITY! Because, really, Knitters are just the security guard of joy!

Leek–the end you don’t throw away
The hat is natural —naturally

I love to win this hat that is the perfect shade of milkiness.
That hat is soft cloud, also known as fluffy marshmallow.
Fresh cream, like the top layer in the milk bottle left on the porch by the milkman.
Some of color interpretation is in the eye – and the mind- of the beholder. Hubby and I can look at the very same item – IRL no less- and each of us describe it differently. What he sees as bright red, I see as orange. But the color I see as red is rosy-pink to him. – True story, were trying to choose paint colors for a old car. I finally said you decide, as we clearly weren’t labeling or seeing the same color in our minds as the other one was. Of course add in monitor differences, then all bets are off – you are right on that for sure.

It is definitely a classic off-white snark, lol!
The hat is Snow White.
Looks like DMC 3865 to me.
Pearl
I’d be dead chuffed to add this jaunty chapeau to my small but excruciatingly carefully curated cap collection. The subtle tones of Cornish clotted cream really make the letters pop.
I would don it while knitting in the sun and doff it to passing yarn bombers.

Oh dear. This is a colour quiz? That hat is like one of those paint chip charts where the names range from linen to ivory to stormcloud and all refer to something we might call “off” white.

It’s winter white of course.
“virgin white”

The color of wind on a deserted beach on the coldest day of the winter.
Wind. As in, I need this hat to control my hair from wind while walking and knitting. Using my new, gifted, green & blue knitting backpack. Spring green and ocean blue to be exact, so wind is also appropriate!
That color is OBVIOUSLY Venus on a clear night during the dark of the moon. I mean, honestly, how could it be anything else?
