I purchased samples of red & green Gainford since I used them in the past and I know there have been some changes in coloration. The recent purchases from Fr Shenosky at Mary Mother of the Redemer in North Wales, PA was for making hangings I am doing for him. This was handled this way to avoid customs duties since it is being used for religious purposes which I think we accomplished. In any case, the Gainford in these 2 shades are great. I am less impressed with the white and violet which I have used in the past but am not happy with at this point so unfortunately we will just be using green and red.
