I know for my next version of my Onye pendant I want to still use orange but don't want to make it too similar to the one already beaded- which just used oranges and yellows.
I have often loved the colour combination of orange and pink- such as the jewellery in this photo:
But I want to see if I can come up with a scheme that uses 'colour rules' and both those colours which I like.
My previous pendant was boldly orange- so this time I want to see if I can use orange in a more subtle way.
So I headed to Color Scheme designer.
Putting in a bold orange gives me this at first- nice but basically too orange
A complimentary scheme is this- nice but I want to throw in at least one more colour
Triadic results in this- still too bold
Tetradic- again nice but still bold
Analogic- very nice- and the mustardy yellow/ orange tones it down for me
Accented analogic- yum! I love the tealy colour in there- my kind of colour combo!
But the search is still on.
A recent Colour Lovers blog post - on Tropicalismo- leads me to a fab colour combo:
Cell Division

A search for orange and fuschia colour palettes gives me this:
Color by COLOURlovers
and this one
Color by COLOURlovers
A google search for pink and orange colour schemes gives me some good results:
Here are some schemes using orange and pink also with white and yellow- very nice
This subtle orange and pink scheme make sme think maybe I need to tone down the fuschia?
Orange and pink in fashion
An orange and pink art challenge
Soon my head is spinning and I decide the only way to work out my colours is to actually look at what I own!
Check back to see what I end up using.
