Color Palette Inspiration

I have some palette inspiration to share.  This little image is from a vintage bookplate.  I think the colors will make up an interesting palette for an embroidery project.  I matched all the colors with DMC brand floss I had on hand but


I did not have any floss that matched the banana:


I think DMC 370 may be a good match so I will be ordering that color and adding it to my collection.

My color palette inspiration journal is really filling up!

    That banana is a odd color, but I do like all those colors together. They are so pretty. I love how you are making this book of inspirational colors. It must be so satisfying to find a lovely label or picture and find the colors to match it.
    Take care,
    Darlene

    Hi Kim, this palette is very interesting. Would love to see what you will embroider in this. The banana colour matches a type of banana in my country. We use it to make banana chips.

    Hi Mallika Thank you! I think this will be a really good color palette for my embroidery - maybe on a tea towel. Banana chips sound delicious!
