sally colors at Old North

[Laura Dickerson <lauradi erols com>]

  We  have  Minchin ropes with red and gray sallies now.  We are
switching over to the Ellis rope company so that we can get
machine-spliced synthetic tops, which are supposed to be less springy
and more durable.  Ellis doesn't offer gray wool, and said when I called
to double check that they can't special order it from anywhere.
Harrumph.  At any rate, it means we need to choose a new color or
colors.  There are three strands, so we could get up to 3 colors, or we
can go with two of one and one of another, or all one solid color.  The
choices they offer:
white
red
blue
green
gold
wine (like maroon, apparently)
black
purple

Arthur suggests red and black, hoping that the black will fade to gray.
It's possible that white would turn to gray after enough dust was added,
but I don't like the idea of that.

What do people want?
