Journey With Color: Wild Wheat

After introducing all the colors that have joined Stampin’ Up!’s color family this year I am now going into more details about each one.  I am starting with the new 2023-2025 In Colors.  Last week I talked about Copper Clay.  This week is all about Wild Wheat.

Wild Wheat is a hard color to describe.  Is it yellow?  Is it brown?  I guess I would describe it as a golden brown with a little bit of a greenish hue to it.  If you look at the photo above, you can see how I came up with this description.  I will admit it’s not my favorite color, but I haven’t actually used it on a project yet.  Once I do, I’m sure I will like it a bit better.

This next photo compares Wild Wheat to many of Stampin’ Up!’s other colors.  These are the combinations that I liked the best.  As you can see, I don’t have it paired with a lot of colors.  It did not look good with any of the greens that had a lot of yellow in them and I didn’t like it with any of the pinks either.  I like it with the deeper, richer colors. 

Bringing a third color into a combination makes a big difference.  Check out these 3-color combinations that Stampin’ Up! uses in their Color Coach.  Most of the colors in these combinations are ones that I didn’t care for with Wild Wheat but I do like these combinations.  I love seeing the color combinations that Stampin’ Up! shares with us on samples, in their designer paper or the Color Coach because most of them are combinations I would never come up with on my own

What do you think of Wild Wheat?  Is it a must have favorite?  Leave me a comment below and let me know!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
