I have a bunch of Not quite navy cardstock, can't decide what colors to put it with. Nothing on the color wheel does much for me. What are some of your favorites? It was actually the first ink pad color I ever bought, and one of my least used !?
Thanks in advance.
. Personally, I like real red, sahara sand, and so saffron with navy. It is more of a boy color combo. I had posted a color help thread, and someone gave me this link. I hope this shortcut works. It is a color combo chart.
Hope it helps.
We're an Army family, very patriotic, so I LOVE NQN for Americana cards. I put it with Ruby Red & Natural for that. It looks great with Old Olive or Mellow Moss.
On the Color Coach, it is recommended to use with Artichoke, Bashful Blue, Cocoa all as coordinating colors. It's complementary color is Blush Blossom. It's also a coordinating color for Bordering Blue & More Mustard.

I really love creamy caramel, barely banana, blush blossom, bashful blue or even sage shadow. I love to match dark colors with light colors for the contrast. I think that the rich regals match really well with the soft subtles for that reason.
Hi Denise- White and Pink- any one looks really well with Navy! I did a purse card uing those 2 colors and it was really striking! Also you can never go wrong using green with navy! From another 1 Denise to another!

My favorite is NQN, Old Olive, and More Mustard. You can use Night of Navy instead of NQN with these colors. I also like NQN and kraft. That's probably my favorite of all---it's the one I find myself falling back on when my creativity has gone bye-bye.

On a stamping scrapbookers group, we recently had a challenge to do a layout using NQN, Perfect Plum, Rose Red, and Almost Apricot. At first I said, WHAT??? But I did it and it looked great.
HTH,

I love using NQN and Kraft along with Ruby Red and Summer Sun. These combinations are great for those needed Male Cards. With my uncle being a retired Colonel from the Army and his son/my cousin being a Lt Commander in the Navy, this is a wonderful color to use. Have fun experimenting with all the color combo suggestions you are getting. Looking forward to your cards being posted!!
I think these are all great tips. Here is a simple card I did with nqn, old olive, more mustard, and very vanilla. It looks much better IRL. It didn't get many comments but it is one of my very favorite cards to make.

I'm going to have to print out all of these great suggestions. Nqn is one of my favorite colors!
