Comments:

I originally thought that I would like these beads better if the pink were brighter, but I've changed my mind.  There's a nice subtlety to this muted pink.  Regarding the picture, my own picture didn't come out so well.  The supplier's picture also shows the shape better than mine did.

NOTE:  In January, 2017, I compared the beads to the supplier's picture.  The color is a little more peachy than the picture indicates (peachy means less rosy, or more towards the orange spectrum).  Since the beads are synthetically coated, it's possible that the coating's color has shifted slightly since I bought them.  It's also possible that the beads haven't changed but that the original picture was not accurate.  (When I first posted the beads, I was using a CRT monitor; now I have an LCD monitor.)
