You’d be surprised what you can do with different colour palette combinations! I mentioned earlier in the month that we would be looking at different palettes featuring Colour #48. Today we are highlighting how this colour combination looks when you pair it with a completely different colour palette, like light blue.
Colour #48 is a blend of olive green, burgundy and golden brown. With this in mind, it’s surprising to pair this with a colour like blue. In fact, it does not necessarily come to mind as one of your first choices.
If you know a bit about colour theory, then you will already know that orange is the complementary of blue. There is a golden brown which reads as an orange golden brown which I believe makes this palette work.
What Different Colour Palette Combinations Did We Use
The sample measures about 2 ½ inches on 18 count mono canvas. There is no pattern as Dominique made it up as she stitched. She started with a Jessica in the middle stitched with colour 175. She repeated this colour for the scotch stitches and used colour 48 for the double leviathan.
Here Is A List Of All The Colours Used:
- Colour #23
- Colour #48
- Colour #69
- Colour #175
- Kreinik braid (we used burgundy)
This is an excellent blend if you cross-stitch. I’ve had a number of customers use it with great results for some of the annual SAL’s (stitch a longs). I suggest you add it to your stash.
