"This week's color is TEAL --- or is it?  Here's the story. A two part post -- then and now.  My original post made back in January is preserved. After a few months, my frustration level -- well "leveled" and I am doing the actual TEAL post along with the rest of the crew on the forum." Read more on the blog.

"An early run on an empty beach. Sun, surf and seagulls.  Our next to the last color post takes us back into neutral territory with Pearled Ivory.  Not quite white; not quite ecru -- it changes tone easily with the patterns of the light. " Read more on the blog.

"Our color this week is in the mauve family but lighter.  My styling didn't quite hit the color mark this week but I so liked this retro dress from AnaMarkova I couldn't let it go. So call it Mulberry or Red Violet which is closer to its Pantone designation -- your choice." Read more on the blog.

"It looks like this darkish neutral brown is fairly close to my blog color and the background I have set for my browser. Who knew?  Actually Pantone's wenge is lighter than my sample below which is Sherman William's wenge.  But-- we have had color so similar I rebelled again.   If you like the lighter version then go for it; for me it will be this:" Read more on the blog.

"This week's color is a low saturated green tone. Nothing bright; nothing flashy -- just a calm reminder of our natural world.   I suspect that I have a fair amount of this color but found a great dress from last year (personally I use it as a long sweater over pants) that let me change scarf and belt to coordinate for an easy post. " Read more on the blog.

"Our color of the week is filled with peachy goodness and is named for a lovely tropical plant. Girlie? Yes, but with some sauciness mixed in there; a bit more pink than apricot.  I give your PLUMERIA:" Read more on the blog.

"Now when "I" think of bronze it is somewhat dull color between brass and copper; likely that metal name of the hue comes into play there.  Pantone has many ideas about what bronze might be so this is a pick your middle ground brown kind of week." Read more on the blog.

"Firebrick.  That sounds familiar, doesn't it?  Nooooo. That was "Fired Brick". Oh my. So many color names.  The two have differences of course. This is a more normal red hue, not near brown at all. Looking back at all the reds we have done on this journey this would probably be my choice if I just had to pick a color to represent RED." Read more on the blog.

"Having good luck finding items of this color (or huds that included this color) the styling went quite easily -- amazingly since this is NOT my color :D.  I am thinking that after wandering through our inventories for weeks, they are becoming more friends than chores; I hope so anyway. " Read more on the blog.

"We've been pretty colorful lately but it's time to move back into neutrals territory. This week's styling features that not quite white -- ECRU.  Now for those of you that care and want to save outfits for later creative works, ecru is not cream or white or silver (all still in the list) so some decrement may be called for in picking out your outfits. It was for me anyway." Read more on the blog.

"Honestly? A color call "jazzberry" -- who knew?  But Pantone confirms that is indeed a color, rich like raspberries with a hint of blueberry for some added pizazz." Read more on the blog.

"Wednesday was more than inauguration day, it was also the day that I finished my personal tour through the 52 colors.  In a wild binge of blogging I finished up the last eight (yes, I WAS tired, thank you) colors and patted myself on the back for completing the challenge." Read more on the blog.

"Week ten we journey back towards violet on the color wheel -- with MAUVE. Now I can't say that mauve in any rendition of its color palette is one of my favorites.  I am pretty sure I haven't worn the color in either virtual or corporeal life, but "it's the process that counts" as we say in the art world -- sometimes as we are simultaneously pulling hair out by the roots." Read more on the blog.

"Not surprisingly a search of my inventory came up zero for "umber"; not an umber in site.  And this is the third brown in our journey -- where is BLUE? Where is ORANGE (well I am not too keen on orange really).  Obviously I am a bad picker of numbers, but they will all come around eventually, so let's tackle UMBER." Read more on the blog.

"What a pretty picture.  It only took me all night AND some shopping to get it!  Oh the things we do for a photo. This week we are revisiting the green family with "lime".  So far GREEN has been the hardest color for me. I have very little green in my wardrobe and for the most part it is not an included color in the fatpack laden separates hiding behind everyday sweaters and jeans." Read more on the blog.
