What Color is Merlot in SportKilt Sox?

[Riverkilt]

Wanted to order some more of SportKilts soccer socks/inexpensive kilt hose. They work well for me in the Arizona heat pushed down with tennis shoes.

They list a color called Merlot....think that's some sort of wine, but don't know if its a white wine, a maroonish wine, or a purple wine. No response to my email to SportKilt asking them. Couldn't find a color swatch on this new website upgrade.

Just wondering if anyone has bought a pair of SportKilts merlot colored hose and can give me a clue...merlot isn't even in my dictionary.

Need to know what the SportKilt sox color is....not what folk think merlot should be. Thanks for any help.

Whoops was wrong.

It's not a white (merlot is nasty stuff anyway), more of a maroon I think.


CT - or dark red

Nasty stuff?! I dunno what area your merlot comes from, CT, but Aussie merlot's are lovely... at least, they're my preferred red.

Of course, personal tastes vary - variety is the spice of life, after all.

and yeah, merlot's are a deep ruby red.

cheers!

Great about the wine, but does anyone happen to have a pair of sox from SportKilt in what SportKilt calls merlot? Would like to know what common color they are near.

Kinda like trying to figure out what shade of blue Elephant's Breath Blue is.

Maybe SportKilt will get around to reading their emails from customers and respond...one can hope.

merlot is a red wine; when talking about wood finishes a merlot stain is a dark wood with a good bit of purple in it, so I'm betting they mean a dark aubergine or eggplant color. It's usually something that looks very rich.

Not sure if this helps Ron, but right above the field ontheir web site wher you select what color you want there is a hyper link which says "view colors". It shows swatches of the colors which of course will vary with the monitor you're looking at.
