    Trying to match EE's Forest Green

    I own a Forest Green Enigma from EE. I'm trying to match the color for an underquilt build. Has anyone looked into this? The green tea from RSBTR looks close but I'm not certain it will match. Just wondering if anyone has found a good match.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've never seen the EE product in person, but RSBTR offers a sample pack:

    Thanks. I have used their sample packs but hate to pay $5 for something that might be able to be answered here. Picking a hammock fabric, OTOH, samples are worth every penny.

    just checked EE...the argon 67 forest green is a bit darker than theirs...

    Might have found it but I'm slightly color deficient. This look like a match? It's green tea Membrane 10.

    Have you reached out to EE and inquired? Some vendors will lend the helping hand and although I have no experience with them personally, I've heard great things about their customer service. They might be able to direct you to their supplier or might be willing to sell you some of the fabric if it is obtained or produced solely for them. Some vendors use proprietary Fabrics, so they may not or have a policy against releasing it, but it might be worth a shot.
    One of EE's fabrics (Phantom 20d) comes from Scott over at DIYgearsupply, but I believe this is the only one and I couldn't find any quilt fabrics that would match this color there.

    Going through all the lightweight fabric sources I know of....

    No good image for comparison, but this was another 10D quilt fabric that got used a lot. They have an evergreen option, but I couldn't say how close it would be.
