OK, my Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ace Hardware were all pretty close
together. (Far Western suburbs of Chicago.) So, I picked up 4 sets of
paint chips. I'll mail them to Mike R on Friday.

I got a set from each store of their standard set of colors. I learned
the hard way with Sears that most of those premium and designer sets
of colors don't have the full rainbow of colors. They don't have
everything needed for the 8 hues of the LAB wheel. The colors aren't
as "pure" either.

So, I compared them to the Sears chips that already have pins. I
picked as close as possible and a color or two on either side - if it
was there and close. After Mike scans, I should be able to easily
narrow these down to 10 pins for each color set.

The 4th set is a Benjamin Moore set from Ace Hardware. It really did
have a full rainbow of colors. Actually they had a couple of sets of
colors that qualified. Why not another choice.

My part is easy and quick on either end of this. Please be patient
with Mike. He has a lot of scanning ahead of him. This may not be all
he has to do either. ;-)

Thanks,
Clyde
