    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!

    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!

    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;)

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

    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...
