Bella Parade '13 : Post # 5

Hi all, still having fun???

You were right, yesterday's color was Canary!!!

Congratulations!


And moving on to today's color! Its a beautiful shade of red!!!


And here are the hints!
1. It is the name of a city that stands on a former island at the mouth of the a river by the same name on the Atlantic coast. The city's motto is "ferit aurum industria" which means "work brings wealth".
2. The diet using this hot ingredient was made famous by Beyonce Knowles
3. _ _ Y _ N _ _




So how would i use this color?

First up is my monochromatic scheme :

Using it with Pale Pink & Country Red gives me this wonderful color scheme!



Dont you just love it?

Now to pair it in a complementary scheme, I'd make it a Christmas combination using Emerald


And for a creative combination, I'd pair it with a couple of greys...

Zen Grey & Etchings Slate



It looks such a professional combination! I can imagine wearing a suit for a business meeting in these colors - formal, yet making a statement!

Now using it with prints!!!

I'd definitely use it in a Christmas combination

like A Merry Little Christmas by Zoe Pearn for Riley Blake Designs


Though, it is a floral color, I would not like to pair it with other red floral prints. It will be all too much for me!

But I'd pair it with some pale florals in neutral colors

Portico Fat Quarter BundleDear Stella Fabrics


And I'd sure play with some graphic prints

Colorful Paint Box Fat Quarter BundleCynthia Rowley for Michael Miller Fabrics 

 
 Newsprint Spot On Fat Quarter Bundle
Robert Kaufman Fabrics



 Draft Just My Type Fat Quarter Bundle
Patty Young for Michael Miller Fabrics


 From the upcoming lines, I'd select

 Hexi Print Fat Quarter BundleThe RBD Designers for Riley Blake Designs




 and

Mixed Bag Fat Quarter BundleStudio M for Moda Fabrics

 
 To make a kids quilt, I'd go with the nautical theme for boys...
Barnegat Bay Fat Quarter BundleStudio 37 for Marcus Brothers Fabrics


and 

Flats Fat Quarter BundleAngela Yosten for Moda Fabrics 


Did you like my selection???
