3. _ _ G _ _ _ L_



Now I'm off to pairing it with different colors!

First off, with Ivory and Hershey to make a wonderful monochromatic!


And with Royal to make a complementary scheme


For the creative combo, I went with an elegant but fresh panel!

I used Fig Tree Apricot & Pistachio!!!




This is a very versatile color and I'd have fun pairing it with almost every color from the Bella Solids!

    Eggshell! It does seem like such a nice versatile color! I'm taking note of all the colors I love the most so that I can order them later (once I've sewn down my stash a bit)

    I'm not as confident with this guess, but I think it's Eggshell. By the way, the first image of today's colour doesn't show up for me. It's just a little box. I can see the ones below that in the pairings, though.
