You’ve met the 2022 Color of the Year – Cornflower Blue. Now’s where my “fun” begins! First thing I do when playing with color, is to look at the color wheel. It doesn’t seem too exciting, but it’s a good start. In this case, the colors found in the color wheel turned out beautiful! It was such a pretty wheel, I went ahead and figured out the step lighter and a step darker as well. The colors have a bit of grey mixed in to them, so they come off being a little “dirty”. But what nice tones they have.

I can think of so many uses for these threads – and so many combinations. Can you?

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’!
