Here's a link that some poetry lovers might appreciate. I know monitors could have some color variation, but what ink brand/color do you think most resembles the border of the linked page? Thanks for your thoughts ...

Closer to DC than Aurora. I'd say it's a blue that people around here call a cyan blue. I don't call it that, but that's what some have called it when we've gotten into flame wars over what to call certain shades.

LOL.

You're welcome Sonia. I'm glad you like. You can see the original manuscript in the link, too, by clicking on it!

Enjoy!

Edit: To those who don't like poetry, it's worth checking out. It looks like it was written in a graph-paper Moleskine with an fp. (The former, probably no, the latter, probably yes!)

Archibald Macleish. It has been a very long time since I have even heard the man's name. I recall we read this poem in the 10th grade.

As for the blue, I am sorry, my eye for color just will not allow me to be helpful. To my poor eye it looks kinda sorta like J. Herbin Bleu Myosotis.
