So I just got a couple new swatches in from Mendel's today, since they've added a few new colors to their repertoire. So I thought I'd share some photos of 'Venetian Red', 'Fuschia', and 'Plum' in case anyone else was interested!
The 'Venetian Red' seems to be a new dye lot of Maroon. It has less of a purple hue now and is more just a very dark red. I didn't have a sample of Maroon immediately accessible, so here's a comparison photo of 'Venetian Red' vs 'Dark Red'

And onto the more interesting set! I'm guessing that 'Fuschia' (bottom right) is equivalent to FursuitSupplies's 'Bubblegum Pink'? It's a much warmer shade of pink than the 'Hot Pink' that's for sure!
And above it is the sample of 'Plum', which is a super pretty dusty violet color! Shown in comparison with the standard Purple/HotPink striped DF fur.

I recall a couple folks asking about very similar colors recently, so I hope this helps out! Yay new colors of fur! (Now we just need them to make a mint green XD)
