Bizarrely, that color which I actually agree is the best light color is the default image at http://www.brandbookonline.com/cgi-bin/brand/site.w?location=olc/cobrand-product.w&category=3&prb=&srb=&mill=&shade=&color=&product=3600&frames=no&target=main&sponsor=000004 It appears to be the same shirt, but that image has no color indicated, and none of the listed colors matches that! Diana, could you check with the company about this? That sort of non-solid light gray looks like a much lighter version of the Heather Gray, and it's my and Jon's (and maybe others') favorite color.
