Here is Tess's website so you can explore Pewter and Pine.

And here is The Common Thread's website.  I'd heard mention of this but had no idea they had a website.  More needlepoint, but arranged as an online exhibit using Pantone's Living Coral color as a theme.

The Color of the Year Matches Kreinik's

If you follow Pantone's posting of the "color of the year" each year, then you'll be interested to know that the 2015 color is marsala. What's marsala? Well, it matches these Kreinik metallics!

Orchid for A Winter's Day

Ruth Schmuff has taken the Color of the Year from Pantone and pulled threads and canvases that match. Whether color trends mean anything to you or not, this orchid is the perfect color for a dreary winter's day!

Thanks, Ruth.  You warmed my heart with eye candy.

Pantone and the Stitcher

Textile folks know about the Pantone report which tries to predict color trends for designers of all sorts of products.  Here's the Pantone report for this fall in a PDF format.

After you droll over the sketches of designer gowns using these colors, you might want to read about this beader's use of the Pantone colors to generate color palettes for her beading.

Anyone who needs to choose colors for a design (whether it is a counted thread chart or an original design or an outlined canvas) might find the color articles from Pantone a good source of inspiration.

The fall colors seem luscious to me.  Do you like them?
