Colour scheme #6

 

Today’s colour scheme can be used in a variety of ways—it looks terrific in delicate floral quilts.  As some of the colours are quite striking, using the more of the light grey/white may be the right way to go.  I usually say to use a number of values of each colour in the quilt, but this one may benefit from using the colours as is.

The plum colour builds a lovely bridge between the blues and the reds.  You could also use a little electric blue instead of the grey-blue for more of a dramatic effect.  Add some black to the scheme if you feel it needs it.

Once again, an golden orange has been included that I would only use a little of and probably mainly the darker parts of it.  I think the smallest part of orange that almost borders on yellow would make the quilt shine, rather than using the yellow itself.   It all depends on the quilt of course!

Enjoy,

Fiona
