nice one Geoff!!
Theres many many shades of cherry, and if ya look the fire engine is actually the shade as the cherry example is! Whereas the shirt is near enough the same colour as the colour examples below...
Colour chart taken from
http://needlepoint.about.com/library/co ... olors2.htm
and those two examples are called mid cherry and cherry...SO the shirt is cherry coloured

Cooking, sewing, you'll be ironing next...

Grrl power there Kt
Geoff it wasn't in my favourites actually, if you look back to page 6 of this thread (i think) it's actually Rob that has it in one of his messages.
Should we start to worry?

I'm still not having it. I have put together the shades of cherry you 'alledge' the Wigan shirt to compare to and it's nothing like it.
The fire engine is the same shade as the shirt.

haha brilliant!
What I said Rob was that the fire engine is actually the same colour as the colour swab thing named "Cherry" so there's many different shades of cherry is there not? Which also means that the shirt could well be cherry.
That also shows that the fire engine is quite a light red, and the shirt is a deeper shade of red which is what you were saying cherry was. Then the colour sample is even deeper so although it isn't that shade of cherry, it's still not fire engine red.

There are also different shades of fire engine as you will have seen when you searched google. The shirt most definately is 'a' fire engine red, in my opinion a cherry is a burgundy-red colour similar to those colour squares you put on further up the page, which are not like the new shirt. This new shirt is much richer, like a shade of fire engine, for example.
