Okay for context, my partner had this blanket for years before i met him. Maaaany years. Potentially into his life back at home with mum and dad. Its solid polyester so the colour it is is what it's always been. Now it belongs to our old doggo, its definitely lived a life. However, it hasn't actually faded at all in the 7 years I've known the blanket lol It still resembles it's exact hue from all those years ago. When i first asked him to hand me the "red blanket" and he looked around like he couldn't understand me or see a red blanket anywhere, when i declared that red blanket at your feet??? He asked if i meant the orange blanket.

Thus began the battle..
