    When I post my original post I said "cherry red in the dark" I never
    said "dark room". The difference is "dark" means absence of light,
    "dark room" means some light is present. The actual color it will
    translate in a shop is the judgement which needs to be made locally.
    Besides I wonder what kind of cherries do sell now. Where I live they
    are dark red. 

    It is a wrong emphasis on quench or not to quench. While important,
    far more important is that metal should be stressed equally before
    annealing.
