THE VERDICT IS IN

...And not to gloat or anything, but I am the clear victor!

From a sample size of approximately a dozen friends and family, all except two voted that Ray's shirt qualifies as a "dark", particularly when washed for the first time. The only two who wobbled on their verdict were Joan (Ray's mom, and therefore bound by biology to stick up for her baby boy) and Steve (our friend, who I suspect responded that the shirt could go either way because he has similarly dyed Geidre's clothes with something dark of his in the past).

Gosh it's hard being right sometimes.
