you totally have to learn to like purple because, don't right, it looks awesome with orange!

yeah, purple is hard. I try to avoid it at all costs. Altho a plummy purple looks lovely with a sky blue or charcoaly grey.

Hey Jessica,
I'm really glad to learn of these color palettes from Pantone! I attended a Benjamin Moore 2010 Color Forecast a few months ago, too. It'll be interesting to see if they line up.
Have a great day!

ummmm...I don't see ANY orange in there! Tragic.

I like the Greenmarket. I think I have nearly every one of those colors, or very close to them, in the fabric spread out all over our spare bed. ;-)

Mimosa was Pantone's color of the year. CMYK 0,15,75,5. I think it's orange-ish, so there you go!

Jessica Jones said...

Yellowy! Close enough. I'll take it.

Kristi said...

Well, purple IS the complement of...oh, some other color.

:)

Jessica Jones said...

So I hear. :)

Karen said...

Love love love the colors...all of them, but I'm with you when it comes to purple. Hardly any of it in my stash. I tried the little envelope sack...worked like a charm;)

Purple...do I really have to try to like it?
BIG QUESTION: Where is orange, the best color in the whole world.?

Ooh yes. Relaxing, but fun.

Greenmarket is gorgeous, but I am starting to love those earthy colors of Gatherings too!

Nathalie said...

Greenmarket is definitely my favorite! And I won't "do" purple whether they say it's trendy or not!

Mariah DeMarco said...

lol, I'm with ya on learning to love purple! ^_^

Brie said...

I'm not a huge fan of purple either. blurgh...

Shannon said...

Hmm, I do like purple alot myself, but I am not to crazy of any of the shades in the galaxy collection. Too muddy...not enough purpleness...and actually....don't all the colors seem a bit muted, or is it just me?

I'm with you on the "learn to like purple." I see purple as a big upcoming trend, and know I need to design with it, but it's pretty much my least favorite color. So I bought an inexpensive purple cardigan at Target and have been wearing it on and off for the past month. It has really helped me figure out purple as I go through my wardrobe trying to find something to wear with it. Discovery: purple goes great with white, black, and rich yellow. This week I printed one of my new products for the season...in purple!

i have a tough time looking at purple walls; it hurts my teeth.

i love lilac and purple flowers, and rough cut amethyst beads, however...
