November 30 - Tuftex Turquoise

I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless

~ Isis - Bob Dylan

I've been enjoying this weekly "color day" exercise, but I'm getting the sense that some of these companies are choosing color names a bit haphazardly after the blend instead of trying to target a specific color.  Turquoise should be lighter blue and have maybe a hint of green?    From the colors grid, Gemar Aquamarine looks a bit closer to what I think turquoise should be.

The balloons have a good sponginess, I had been hesitant with Tuftex after my pink experience, like eating a sour grape - but it was your first grape.  Each of the others have been a real nice sponge feel to them, like Qualatex Blush used to be (pause for nostalgia). 

Overall assessment, Tuftex Turquoise feel great and work great and is a nice mid-blue color.
