What are some of the color pairs you really like?
Here are a few of mine I used this year:
bold orange
tropical
romantic orange
Alabaster
soft pink
barf green
Used a 600x250 pixel image divided by half and only solid colors if you want to continue in the same style,.
Which one do you like?
Remember that people's preference for colors is highly subjective and influenced by a variety of factors, such as mood, location and theme (birthday, wedding, etc.). Now let's show us your favorite pairs!
OK, so @Lais and everyone else who dislikes saturated color will be horrified, but this is my fav color "pair". I couldn't narrow it down to just two as for me they are a mix n match set that works in any two, three, or all four.
These are what I call my Fiesta colors as they come from dishes stuck behind cupboard doors:
That yellow/green wall was a long dark hallway leading to the living room. Painting it in fiesta colors made it a much brighter, happier space. Here's the kitchen opposite that cupboard wall:
Didn't use the kitchen for eating so that was the very beginning of having a dedicated studio space for my arts & crafts. Went on to use the same bold Fiesta color-block scheme in two more kitchens over the years.
You can see my fav "fiesta colors" reflected in these two Collections, with the addition of hot pink:
I live for, and usually design in, bold color, but have to admit, I really do like @Pixelan 's barf green pair.
Not my personal taste but I do love seeing it at other places, looks very cheerful and different than the current trend. Combined with white borders it looks great!
Reminds me of 80's tupperware colors. I can still remember how it feels when you open that lid.
Thanks for sharing!
Ah, the Tupperware orange. That's taking me farther back to the Burnt Orange and Avocado Green of the 70's. 😵
Here's the kitchen end of that hallway:
If you think that's a lot, prepare yourself for the Before. Are you ready?
Here's how the hall was when we moved in:
Look familiar?
And if the little checks that made it feel like the wall was moving in and out weren't bad enough, it was topped with this:
And the horrors continued into the kitchen and living room with this:
Yeah. Stupefying.
Anyways, I hope more people post their fav color pairs swatches, I have a fun idea but need more Creators participating.
Well heck, Microsoft did all four: 😉

Well, just to give a complete feedback:
- bold orange: hate it 😖
- tropical: nice, but should be called "watermelon" 🍉
- romantic orange: hate it 😖
- alabaster: love it! 😍
- soft pink: now that's romantic, love it 😍
- barf green: nice! 😊
And here are some color schemes I like:
I prefer a few unsaturated colors with one or two more saturated colors.
