Some of the pages in the Third Edition Collector's Encyclopedia of Hall
China show a nice array of colors all on one page. The following pages
have many colors to compare and I think the colors on these pages published quite
accurately. Airflows Page 223 , Aladdins Page 225, Globes Page 243 (top
camellia is a bit light), Page 295 Old Rose, Page 199 Cadet,
Hotpoint Page 212. The color
chart in my copy of this book did not reproduce well. Harvey Dukes book one, first printing, has a
good color chart. The second printing of the book does not have a color chart
If you want to read a fun treaties on Colors pick up the new Fiesta book (now
this author is obsessed with color - too bad he did not have the Hall colors to
talk about)

While browsing the web for a picture of a color wheel I found this nice site
of Web Safe Colors.
If you want someone on eBay (or for any one with a digital picture) to tell you
what color their item is, perhaps this would be a good site to send them
to. They can give you the number and you can decide on the color (Chinese
Red would be FF0000, Indian Red would be FF6600). These colors have been
tested to look similar on computers. Not all of Hall colors are
represented by the chart but you can come close with a many of them.
If you send me a picture to add to the Hall Chart, let me know if one of these
number closely matches your item. I can then adjust the colors on these
pages to be very
close.
Many thanks to all the generous collectors who shared information and
pictures for these web pages.
A special thanks to Steve & Dave, Rex, Ron, Bill, Elizabeth, Jim &
Sharon, Maggie, Janice, Gary and Paula and everyone else who's pictures and information is
compiled on these pages.
