It should be mandatory to drive through Christmas lights sometime during the holiday season! If you’re not already in a Christmas spirit – then the cheese-factor of hearing the Christmas carols, being sung by random lit characters will get you there.

We drove through on a night when it was raining, so the images aren’t the greatest – but isn’t the color? The color scheme comes out a little more teal, but isn’t it stunning? This thread scheme would look good on dark fabric, but many of the colors would look fine on white.

For each of these thread schemes, or palettes, , I’ll include both an image showing how it was built (to the left), and a thread color schemes, with actual thread numbers, that you can print out. Feel free to save these cards, because you never know when you’ll need them.

Keep your eye out for more color schemes coming in the Simply Color series!

Have you learned more about color harmonies that I cover? Take a look into them, and let me know what you think!!! You’ll never run out of thread palettes again!!!

What part of color inspires you?

Happy stitchin’!
