when i said i got the hair colour thing i meant his skin colour.
the rest went right over my head but then alot of things do now.
nothing will ever be the same again.
and as i said, i no longer have any personal culture to fall back on.
i'm born/raised american but have now spent more of my life in nz but
nz'rs all only hear what little is left of my american accent
and when i go to usa they hear none of my american accent.
i have no country, no countrymen who accept me as i am cuz i dont sound like
i'm from anywhere in particular to the rest of the world.
not that it makes a damn bit of difference to the scheme of things.
nothing much matters anymore.
big fat 'oh well'.

"Dr. Zachary Smith" <wrote, in part>The relevance is, if I'm going to use
licensed characters, I'd prefer
to use as close to the original artists' conceptions as possible.
It's tribute to whatever characters I use rather than parody,
statement, or individualism. One might choose to make Disney's 7
dwarves rainbow colors as a socio-political statement, but if one just
wants the characters to be taken at face value, or for memory/
sentimental purposes, one may likely want to color them as close as
depicted in Snow White as one could. That's all.

I think you are my sister....sometimes you write just what
I'm thinking....right down to the 'oh well'. If it's family you're
looking for, I'd like nothing better then to be your big sis.

ta for the offer, Donna.
i think we're a bit too far apart,
besides which i seem to mess up any type of relation
so i've pretty much given up trying anymore.
i obviously dont have a clue how things in this world work.

This would be important if it was a commercial job and the client had
selected the design from an image and expected it to come out as they
saw it. And if it was, for example, a corporate logo, then one would
be obligated to match the corporation's standardized Pantone colors.
(Not easy with thread)
Otherwise, for personal use, there's no reason to be exact, as long as
the end product meets its goals. In fact, there are good reasons to
change in order to match a color scheme, a background fabric, or
artistic freedom.

Precisely!

Herb, I agree completely. The OP wrote: "Since these are
licensed designs, I want to use the exact correct colors."
I assume "correct" colors in this case would mean using the
exact shades of the exact thread the designer assigned to
each fill. After all, professional designers are pros for a
reason.
I love tinkering with colors on purchased designs, and also
digitize designs myself for which I may select any darned
color I want. But I probably would not put "Mickey" in
purple shorts, select yellow for "Eeyore", or color Donald's
beak green. ;-)
