Hi Wendy, nice to see you posting. :-) Yes, they will be pretty large pots that I would need to go up one size. I didnâÂÂt think the two I have now were all that big. I just checked and they are 16 inches high with an opening that is 17 inches across. IâÂÂm sure there are 20-22 inch pots out there, that would be just one size up. I am planning on pruning the rootball. I havenâÂÂt taken them out of their pots yet to check the condition of the roots, but I imagine after all this time they are pretty root bound. Thanks for the info about how much to prune. Oh what fun. [g] No, I definitely will not want to be up-potting further. This will be the first and last time IâÂÂm going to try it. Bill, I really like your resin pots. Very pretty! I keep forgetting about cement/concrete planters. That would be heavy enough to keep them upright in the wind, I imagine. Being able to move them into place, would be the challenge. [g] Once theyâÂÂre in place, theyâÂÂre staying as long as possible. Thanks!

Our Cambria Windsor had to be done in two slabs on our lengthy island, and the two slabs did not match each other, as they came from different batches. One looked grey-er and one had more beige in it. In any light, you could see the seam. Both Cambria and the fabricating company were wonderful in getting replacement counters for me. The countertops on the island now match and they look seamless, but they are slightly beige-ier than the counters along the sink wall which I didn't have them replace (due to sink and stove cut-ins), but NO ONE notices any difference in color. They will not guarantee matches to the sample, though.

That's right, I had. The fabricator dh talked to said that he has some that compare to the lower grade of granite I picked. I'm afraid it's the kind of quartz that looks like a polished aggregate patio. But it's the first interest dh has shown in looking for counters, so I'm letting him run with it.

Well, I do not have Eternity in my house so I can't provide the kind of answer you're looking for. However, I do have a few thoughts to share that you may - or may not :) - find useful. AF-695 Eternity's hue family is blue. Here is the full hue/value/chroma color notation: 2.31B hue / 7.61 value / 0.23 chroma AF-700 Storm's hue family is yellow. 9.52 Y hue / 6.43 value / 0.12 chroma. Here's a sortable table of color notations for all the colors in the Affinity color collection. I don't do "undertones" especially with regard to paint colors because I think it's an ineffective at best, technically incorrect at worst, way to look at/think about color. For example, one probably would never guess that Storm's hue family is yellow. But it is yellow, on the cusp of green-yellow. And that's exactly why you think it reads as having " no undertones". The majority of whites and grays that people perceive as "true with no undertones" belong to a hue family in the yellow, green-yellow, green range. The Affinity deck is not arranged in any particular, technically precise spectral order. It looks like somebody just eyeballed it. So it's not correct to think that Eternity is "one down" from Storm meaning it's the same color but lighter. In addition to dissuading folks from the misleading pitfalls of "undertones", I also don't recommend cutting formulas. Because as you already know, you don't know what it's going to look like until you do it and once you start down that path, you own the gallons whether you like how they end up or not. The chroma part of the notation tells you how colorful or chromatic the color is. Eternity is already pretty low at 0.23. And its value is 7.61. My guess is lessening the colorant load, if possible at all, is going to shift the color from a "gray" category to a "white" category. Better off to just keep looking for the right light gray vs. monkeying around with cutting formulas, IMO. If you want to understand the Affinity color collection and hue families better, I suggest you reorder the deck according to the color notations. I walk you thru how to do it in this blog post and video: Put the Affinity Color Collection in Hue Family order I get more emails about that post than any other at The Land of Color. Many have told me that simple exercise of reordering the fandeck was life-changing and once they see the Affinity colors in proper hue family order they finally understand my point of view about "undertones".
