Madeira neon thread

Howdy from Texas,
I have been looking at the Madeira polyneon color chart and trying to determine which of the yellows in the neon colors is the brightest. I want a really day glo yellow. Its hard to tell from the chart on the computer screen. The three likely numbers are 1823, 1935 or 1995. If some of you guys that use Madeira all the time could give some imput I would greatly appreciate it.

Thete color charts are well worth the money. They are actual thread samples, NOt printed

Once you get the color chart I would suggest putting a couple of coats of your favorite CP on just to see how dark the threads will turn.

Thanks Mark and Craig.

I figured if Mark saw my post he might chime in since his sells Madeira. Be ordering soon.

Thanks

Here are a couple of wraps I did using Madeira poly neon. I believe the yellow is 1995. I can check when I get home. The yellow is really bright.
