Luckily, just because it's the Pantone "Color of the Year" that doesn't mean you have to wear that color!

Wow, erose! I wish I could match colors like that. If I look at two different shaped things made with the same color they look like two different colors to me.

Effetre Coral. As for what the fashion experts say, my response is *yawn*. They tried to say mini skirts were back and you saw how that went. Sure a few 20-somethings did/do the miniskirt thing but the rest of us said no.

I think all the colors are just marvellous! I love that orange a ton. I can't wait to get some shirts in that color.

  5. Effetre Rubino Oro, Reichenbach Gold Pink, Reichenbach Pink Lady
  6. CiM Pimento, Effetre Coral Mango, Effetre Striking Orange
  7. Effetre Butter Yellow, CiM Marigold (maybe hand-mixed with a little Ivory to tone down the brightness)
  8. CiM Mojito, Effetre Okey Dokey Artichoky, CiM Dirty Martini
  9. Effetre Light Turquoise, Reichenbach Aqua, Effetre Pale Aqua
  10. Lauscha Steel Blue, CiM Indigo, Cobalt Transparent

I think that Lauscha Cocoa is too brown to be a match for the dark grey/neutral, and I also think that the yellow is a tough match in general for the available 104 colours.

You will love the R-Lavender Melanie. I'm still struggling with the sodalite blue. Indigo is almost black, cobalt is too bright, Leaky Pen is close, but I'd like to find an opaque. A midnight blue that isn't black but really is blue.

My monitor colours must be off, because that orange looks a lot like the Vetrofond Orange Sherbet that is no longer available.
