When it comes to the infinite colour combinations you can create, there’s nothing quite like fusing berry, navy and fuchsia to create a truly unique palette. I love combining these colours as it’s a captivating blend of deep, rich tones that create the perfect balance of uniqueness and elegance.
This is one of my favourite combinations I dye and looks far more vibrant than I can achieve in a photograph. Colour #83 is a delicious mix of navy, berry and fuchsia.
When stitchers work with this colour combination, they often pull inspiration by pairing it with variations of solids in navy, berry and fuchsia. However, this stitch sample will show you a different pairing potential. Instead, let’s infuse a touch of tropical flair into our palette. Enter Color #46, which is a delightful blend of turquoise and lemon-lime, injecting a refreshing sense of vibrancy into the mix. We can then accompany this with Color #82, an array of aqua shades that add a little bit of dimension.
Here’s the colour combination we created with this berry, navy and fuchsia palette
When crafting your palette, versatility is key. When choosing a palette, I am fortunate to have a variety of solids I’ve collected through the years.
Naturally, I can also dye the values I want in solids of the exact colour matches within the colour combination, but I recognize not all of you can do this, nor do you likely want to.
If you have a local needlework shop close by, take Colour #83 with you and request assistance to combine a palette with your favourite colours. Here are some of our ideas.
How to Elevate this Palette
I encourage you to get creative with mixing different textures and fibre into your palette to create some depth and dimension.
I’d recommend adding textures like silk or silk/wool blends in fuchsia to create a focal colour. Or perhaps adding flat threads such as Neon Rays or Sparkle Rays for a hint of metallic sheen to give your project that little bit of pop.
If you’re looking to do another colour pairing, how about experimenting with using a shade of blue. This beautiful addition creates a beautiful visual balance with your chosen palette. Experiment with metallic threads like Entice, opting for shades of aqua or bursts of lime green to give your project a contemporary twist.
The beauty of this colour combination lies not only in its depth and richness, but in versatility, with the blend of navy, berry, and fuchsia offering a blank canvas of creative potential. I encourage you to not be afraid of going against the grain with the endless colour and textile combinations that lie with using Colour #83!
