Hi everyone. Hope you are well. My demo introduced me to RAZZELBERRY this week and paired it with OLD OLIVE. Well, I have fallen in love. I am dazzled by the Razzleberry.
Unfortunately, I have not purchased my color coach (I am with this order however), but would like to know if someone could tell me what colors work with the Razzleberry. I am HORRIBLE at matching colors. I get them from the color coach, or I find them in the gallery. Putting them together myself is a big mistake.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time.
Paula

The Color Coach lists Razzelberry, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie as the Creative Combination. The Getting Started Combo is Razzleberry, Pretty in Pink, and Early Espresso as the Getting Started Combination.
I like to use it also with Daffodil Delight or Melon Mambo.
HTH!

Check out the color challenges. The sticky has some nice PDF files that sum them all up. Not only can you see some color combos, but you can look at examples too! Isn't this site great? To find examples, search the gallery with the keyword of that color challenge.
I didn't like the format of the new color coach so I made the attached chart. I printed it on heavy cardstock and glued the 2 peices together back to back. Maybe it will of some help for you.
stamphappy I have just downloaded your chart thanks for that!! ... could you explain how it works as I've never had a colour coach before ...
I don't get what sweet set is and getting started... I am sure I am just being blonde LOL help pretty please?!
Hey no cuts on yourself - if you've never used a color chart you have to get info somewhere and what better place then here on SCS.
OK - I'll try. I've also attached the SU Color Theory PDF that will help understand colors.
reading column headings left to right
Family - (Regals, Subtles, etc) this is the SU family that the Color belongs to
Color - this is the color you want to use to see what goes with that color
Combo - these are the colors that coordinate with those colors
Sweet Set - another combination of coordinating colors
Getting Started - these are colors for those who have limited supplies or who are just "getting started" with SU colors
Basically you find a color you want to use say Daffodil Delight and then you look on my chart to find the colors on the same row that coordinate with Daffodil Delight.
Dynamic Duos (2-Step Stampin)- this section is so you can stamp your own samples of cordinating light/dark colors for 2-step stamping. I used a 1/2" piece of plain rubber to stamp the coordinating colors as I wanted to see how they would really look .
Sometimes I think that the color chart couldn't possible be right as I would never have tried the colors together but suprisingly, the chart really does work. Please keep in mind that this chart is for SU colors made using the SU color coach but you can use it for an idea of what to use for similar non-SU colors. I've used my chart so much it's getting kind of ratty. Oh one more thing when you print the chart the colors may be off from the actual ink/paper but that is because the colors are calibrated for my printer. All brands of printers are a little different but it still gives you a good idea where to start.
If you have any other questions regarding the chart, let me know.
FYI...I posted a card Wed with Razzelberry, very vanilla, certainly celery and used a pattern paper to 'tie' it all together. You can see it here if you would like. Here's a pic of it too.
Blessings!

Happy Stamping
Thanks for posting! I don't usually have problems matching colors, but it always helps to get someone else's perspective!
I love Rich Razzleberry and paired with Old Olive it's just such a lovely combo! I love Razzleberry with Marina Mist too. Here's a card I made using Razzleberry, Olive, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.
What a great thread this turned out to be. As always when you come to scs you walk away with way more information that you ever thought you needed. And...at some point it all comes in handy.
Thanks
Paula

I don't think anybody mentioned paring Razzleberry with a teal...with any brand of ink. I absolutely love teal and try to match it with lots of colors with Razzleberry being one of them.
Razzelberry
