I thought that Frazz was complimenting the shirt not realizing that it was the result of an accident.

I’m with you, why would a pink shirt be an embarrassment? Some quite “manly men” I know wear pink shirts often, as it suits their coloration (and sometimes the rest of their clothing).

The shirt ain’t pink. Of course, what would be wrong with wearing a pink shirt? And since when does Frazz (pencil-necked geek extraordinaire) get to comment on the look of another man?

Well, I can’t comment on the pinkness of his shirt (I wouldn’t consider it pink, but I don’t live in Frazz World), but I CAN comment on the joke, namely that…it’s wrong. I’ve done extensive experimentation with food dying of yarn, and Balsamic Vinegar WOULDN’T turn your shirt pink. It might possibly turn it a light tan/beige, but pink? No. Red Wine vinegar, or Raspberry vinegar, maybe. But Balsamic? Nope.

Know what? The color on my monitor was slightly off. It could certainly be pinker, but it does count as pink. I should know then to comment on colors seen on my 11 year old monitor.

Rusty - if you click on your salmon link the first sentence is:
“Salmon is a range of pale pinkish-orange to light pink colors”. That says more about pink than orange. No matter what, everyone see colors a little differently. I often ell my husband he has clashing colors on and he thinks they area identical.

Interestingly, both apricot and salmon are considered to be a shade of orange, rather than pink. There are pinkish qualities to the shirt, but then I supppose it’s rather subjective at that.

Rainey, the shirt definitely looks pink to me too. I would say it is salmon pink. I think balsamic vinegar could easily tint a shirt that color.

The colorist was in the ballpark at least. I have seen worse.

The closest color I could I could identify the shirt as would be Apricot
