What Are Some Good "Retro" Colors???
I got my martini glass stamps yesterday and am ready to send out some cards but not real sure what SU colors would go together for the "retro" look. I guess I'm just too young! :wink: (NOT!)
Any suggestions? Thanks. |
I made a card with a martini glass stamp last week. I used Green Galore and Brilliant Blue CS. Are these retro colors?

I was on a color drought for some time and visited all the popular paint sites to see how they put their colors together. I think this site would be the best one to help you with that retro color group you are looking for:
http://www.sherwin-williams.com/diy/.../interior.html Mouse over the last one to select "suburban modern" then click on "view possible palettes". I am sure you can pick out SU! colors that "match" what they suggest. |
Depends on your idea of retro, I imagine. How about pink passion and green galore, real red and only orange or positively pink and only orange. When I think of retro, I think of Pucci colors....maybe it's just me! :)

My memory of "60's colors" (which I assume you are talking about) are:
pink and brown pink and black light blue and brown turquoise and lime green gold and olive green If you go to the gallery and do a search on "retro," 240 samples come up, many using these color schemes using SU! colors that work great. Enjoy! :D Linda |
There's a card in "classic convertibles" that used tempting turquoise, cameo coral and chocolate chip.
Have fun!!! |
Oh, thanks everyone! I've got some surfin' to do! :wink:

I think everyone's idea of Retro may be different.
When I hear Retro, I think 1950's. That makes me think of pink and black. But that's just me! NY Nan |
NY Nan: Good point! I think I was thinking 50s, 60s, 70s (really narrows it down, hugh)? Funky color combos I guess!

pink passion and old olive together.... or pink passion and chocolate chip
