I have found that the color of the stripes is not necessarily an indicator of the thickness. I measure pillow ticking regularly at fabric stores. I have measured red stripes and blue stripes and tan stripes that have measured from .012 to .018.

I gave up on ticking , I found the color had little to do with thickness, switching to denim comes in weights 7oz, 9oz 10oz ( .022)12oz it seems more consistent , just make sure its 100% cotton. The other patching I like is #40 pocket drill cloth tight weave
