Chromes silk color?

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know if all the different sets of chromes have blue silk ends? Or do they come in different colors?

Reason I ask that I can't remember which set I bought and now that is time to replace I'm having a hard time telling which ones I currently have.

They are a light blue color, much like sky blue or lake placid blue, but nothing around a darker blue color. Dark Blue are GHS.

Actually, Joel, the GHS flats that I've had have had purple silks. Of course, I COULD be color blind! And I, too, have only seen blue silks on the Chromes.
