What is the difference between the Snow Kona Cotton Jelly Roll, and the White Koha Cotton Jelly Roll?
Snow is off-white. White is true white.
Snow works better with other fabrics that don't have white in them, IMO.
Hope that helps.

kona white on top, snow on bottom.
Natural lighting on a cloudy day :)
Snow is just off white like liberty said. When I was at M* last week I asked about the difference and the sales girl said snow had just a slight tinge of yellow in it to which I couldn't helping replying about most snow in the city...
Oh, Jean - where's your post that shows all the whites side by side? We probably need a Sticky on that one. So helpful.
The link is in my User Notes

Kona snow is my favorite cream. Bella snow is very yellow, the two colors are not interchangeable!
Maybe this will help, it's from my Moda swatch book...

Oops, just realized you said Kona, not Moda...
It's still helpful!Quote:

Kona snow RJR French Vanilla and Bella Snow yardage.
I'd say the RJR is closest to Kona Snow, see how much darker the Bella Snow is than the others.
Love this! Bahahahahaha! :icon_rofl:Quote:

How does Kona Snow compare to the color of unbleached muslin 200 count (Kona, Southern Belle, Legacy, etc.)? Does anyone have any pics they can share? My muslin is too dark for the pastels I want to use, but the white is too bright.
Thanks!
To me, Kona Snow is the perfect off white/ cream. It is slightly creamy, goes well with near whites. If you shop local big fabric retailers, Kona Bone is almost the same as Kona Snow. Do not interchange Moda Snow with Kona Snow. Moda Snow is much more yellow than Kona Snow. I am unfamiliar with the other fabric names you are referring to. I would almost bet Kona Snow would work with your fabrics.Quote:

I was wondering if Kona Snow would be the right choice. Seems to be very popular. I do prefer a cream tone over a grayish tone.Quote:

I use Kona Snow as my white. I prefer it because it's more of a soft white than a bright (glaring) white.
Moda muslin 200 thread count white actually has a slight cream tone. Moda 200 thread count optic white is a very bright white. I use the 200 thread count white for dyeing fabric or in quilts with the 1930s reproduction fabric. I use the Moda 200 thread count optic white for my modern quilts where a bright white is needed to match the white in the more modern fabrics.Quote:

I personally love the Kona 'Snow' - I find it can go with just about anything, as long as there isn't a 'majority all white' piece in the quilt. The white can only go with white, as it has a tendency to make anything else look a little 'dirty'. The 'snow' doesn't have the propensity to do this. It blends wonderfully, in the majority of cases.
