What other color do you like to pair with Orchid Opulence?
I have a lot of it but am having a hard time finding a color that goes nicely with it.
Any suggestions?

I really dislike this color. I have used it but cant remember with what. I bet it looks good with Green Galore or Gable green.

I'd try Ruby Red, Certainly Celery, and Summer Sun.
That said, I think it would look great with most of the greens, reds, and yellows.

I hadn't thought of using it with a yellow. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I don't use this very often, but I checked the color wheel and it's suggestions include: Handsome Hunter, Real Red, Brilliant Blue and YoYo Yellow.

I haven't used this much but I have always liked paler purples with navy. Another color I like to pair with purples is gray and I bet the new Basic Gray would be great with the medium brightness of the Orchid Opulence.
Purples and yellows compliment each other but the shades (hues ... whatever its called) need to be balanced.
HTH and ...
Happy Crafting!

It looked great with the inside of my trashcan, so that's where I put it.
(Just kidding... couldn't resist!) ;)

I love it with Sahara Sand and Night of Navy. I will be trying it with Wild Wasabi and River Rock one of these days, too. :mrgreen:
