Journey With Color: Moody Mauve

In today’s Journey With Color we’ll be looking at Moody Mauve.  If you look up the word “Mauve” in the dictionary it is described as a pale bluish purple.  Interesting.  I think of it as being in the pink family.  Although if you compare it to some of Stampin’ Up!’s pinks you can see that it does look better with the pinks that have a blue tone to them.

This next photo shows you how Moody Mauve looks with other Stampin’ Up! colors.  I can’t say that I love all these combinations, but I want you to be able to see them.  Colors with too much red or yellow didn’t work well with Moody Mauve, but that’s my opinion. 

The last photo shows you color combinations from Stampin’ Up!’s Color Coach.  Once again, they’ve shown you combinations that I would never have tried.  I really need to step outside of my box.  How about you?  Are you stuck inside of your box like I am when it comes to color combinations, or do you like to step outside of it sometimes? 

Next week we will look at Pebbled Path.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
