That middle one is a pretty close mix of purple and pink so if you need to use it as a last resort it'd be ok.
Thanks ladies! That was pretty much what I was thinking, but I don't know why I am so bad with the color thing...although it's probably that I'm always worried that what I consider red is really more of a mix between red and pink or some such nonsense (like the book in the middle). Unless it's like full on, no doubt in anyone's mind, I always have to ask.ETA: good gracious I just noticed that my stupid Kindle Fire autocorrected color to Colorado. Seriously?

I was wondering what Colorado had to do with anything but thought it may have been an inside joke!
