All y'all color complainers need to stop. On black or silver this would not make sense. Look again at the original -- this color stays true to the sturm und drang.
It's OK if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right. ~ Wootin' since 2005 and lovin' it!

It's not at all close to the color shown in the pic, which has stopped me from ordering in the past. But having recently rec'd "Artichokey" (which I hadn't bought ONLY because I thought it would be a dull, "blah" greyed-out yellow like shown in the pic) as a random, I was pleasantly surprised that it's a PRETTY (imo) yellow----not too pale; not too bright/glaring; not blah or dreary at all---just right.
Hang on, and I'll hunt up a pic that Neuropsychosocial once posted, which shows the ACTUAL color.

Note to Woot: Why can't y'all post the ACTUAL shirt color (illustration, not just verbally) on the description page?
May the Crap be with you all!!!

Please don't suggest I dye it. I have a pink hoodie in my closet that has been in there for 5+ years that I have been intending to dye since I bought it at a concert. I try to be realistic about my shortcomings.
Maybe you could dye yourself instead? ;-)
Just kidding, of course.
A thought, however: I'm sure you know what looks best on you and what doesn't, but I've known a LOT of people who think they look horrible wearing yellow, when in reality it actually looks quite good on them. Have you had your colors "done".....or gotten (several) objective opinions? Or are you just averse to wearing the color in general? It'd be sad to miss out on a shirt you love just because you think it wouldn't look good on you, when it really might look great.

I agree! I wish even more cheery colors were offered on a regular basis: orange, red, and....gasp....even pink! (Men can buy for their wives, gf's, sisters, mothers, etc. if they aren't secure enough in their own masculinity to wear pink themselves.) I do see some green and royal blue from time to time, but far too many of my favorite-design Woot shirts are either black or blah grey. Okay to have a few of those....but I'm not Goth. I don't like to be dreary. I like to wear black pants, so I prefer a contrasting shirt color. Bright colors look good with both jeans and black pants...as well as tan/khaki pants.
I'd like to toss out the suggestion once again that each design be offered on a choice of color blanks, like most of the "other" t-shirt sites out there do. How hard could that be???
