>>harvest gold I think...or a pea green<< There is but one universal color for shag carpet, any differences noted between houses and apartments was just a trick of the light.

Talk of shag carpeting sent me to my slide archives for a viewing of pictures taken in a long-ago apartment. Sure 'nough, there it was: a lovely rust-and-gold shag area rug gracing the living room. I recall the sales person at the carpet store insisting that I would need a shag rake to keep the critter groomed. It had to do with the extra-long yarn disabling the vacuum cleaner. The rake resembled a push broom with plastic tynes in lieu of straw. Something I noticed in pictures from that era: out attire and hairstyles were complementary to the decor of our habitat.
