What is a good summer color???
I'm trying to put together a two page brag book layout for an upcoming workshop and am having a hard time figuring out what my base color should be. I will have to order whatever color I come up with and I don't want to use a retiring one. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I wanted to use Summer by the Sea but I'm starting to think I may go flourel. So from what I'm reading anything in the Bold Bright family. I did start working with Tempting Turquoise so maybe I will go with my orginal thought and put Gable Green and such with it. Thanks for letting me know I am on the right track.

Green Galore gets my vote. You can pair it with anything and it will look fresh!

I think it can depend on the stamp set you're using. I put summer sun together with Ballet Blue and I loved the way it looked -- I thought it was "summery" without being too bright. If you want bright, pink passion and Yo Yo Yellow are eye-catching together.

I have been on a green galore, pink passion and only orange kick lately. With a little lovely lilac thrown in for good measure.

You mentioned using Gable Green and Tempting Turquoise. I did a page with these colors and Orchid Opulence, and it looked very pleasing to my eye! I'll see if I can post a pic, but it probably won't show up for a bit.
