    PG Tutorial?

    Black and white are easy.

    I've seen examples that I know to be white pearloid, white ice and black ice.

    That Aussie from down under has initiated me to tort.

    What do shell, black pearloid, python and moonstone look like?

    edit: I found the pg examples on the musicman colors page. Anybody got real life examples to share?

    BTW, tort and shell are the same thing.

    Both derivatives of the old 'tortoise shell' designation, which is of course no longer acceptable.

    Ah, yes. I can see where "Tortoise shell that bee-yatch" would be a bit unwieldy.
