Hosts—- please describe red garments as either a “coo/blue red” or a “warm/orange red”, as it’s hard to tell from TV or a screen.

It is totally possible they do not know or were not given that info

Producers need to tell them or the vendor should know, assuming they are working with one. I agree, just calling something red, is vague and certain reds do not look good on some skin tones.  I give Mary D. credit, more than once she has said something was more of a tomato red, brick or one time even rust.  The rust did not look like what the color rust looks like, but I am glad she said it looked different in person than on screen.

@Fashion49girl.  As a matter of fact, it's not just reds.  They do a horrible job on all colors.  I buy a lot of turquoise/teal colors and I never know what I actually bought get.  I've gotten so many books things described as "turquoise " that turned out to be mint green.  Purples are bad too.  You never know if but it's a blue purple or a plummy red purple.  Blues can be sky blue or an aqua blue...which is it?

I guess because they can see what it is, they think we can too, disregarding studio lighting and variances in TV sets.

I agree it's very hard to get a plain old fire engine, Christmas red.

You will never know until you have it at home.  I have been blindsided several times.  Just the risk of online.

Most of the time the so called "designers" do not know the colors of their own clothes.
