I just figured out text color. Speaking of color and sorry the picture is tilted but, I am not that far yet in blog postings. Most of the window shades are "black" in Charleston. What we didn't know is they are actually "Carolina Green". When the South lost the civil war, the Yankees felt sorry and gave them all their black paint to rebuild their broken homes. The Southerners did not want black all over their town so they added some green. If you look closely at the shudders they do indeed seem black but have a hint of green!
