This thread scheme doesn’t focus on the Cornflower Blue, it just uses the color mixing to get some beautiful tones. How gorgeous are the pinks in this color scheme! Again, mixing the Cornflower Blue with the Light Drab Brown, brought out some of the purplish-pinkish tones. Interesting! This interesting mix is exactly why I like doing these schemes – color does weird things when left to its own ways. I like finding those instances, and seeing where it takes me!

*** This thread scheme is based off the Pantone 2022 Color of the Year. For more information about that program, check in at their website https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2022.Based off of using DMC 3807, I’ve explored more over the course of several thread schemes. Come and investigate Cornflower Blue a little more with me, and see what I can come up with!

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’!
