"We are moving from warm tones to hot, hot, hot this week. I give your RED. I remember reading an interesting factoid in a color theory book long ago.  When faced with choosing what  color "red" really is, no two persons would agree. Since there ARE an infinite number of reds the eye can see, this wasn't a terribly scientific quote, but you get the idea. So find YOUR red and crank things up a bit." Read more on the blog.

"Well the good news is that most all of the color swatches for emerald green are very close to each other, so at least there is agreement.  Emerald is apparently "cooler" (towards blue rather than yellow) of just plain green which we have tackled and tamed -- well, I hope so anyway.  It is very close to "teal".   Since green have been problematic for me I am guessing this may be a tricky color, but hopefully something is hiding in my inventory."

"When I hear the word "indigo" I immediately thing of navy blue.  It turns out that's not quite the hue we are looking for this week. Indigo -- and surprisingly Pantone seems to have one main "indigo" instead of a dozen -- is lighter than navy and also less vibrant, so more gray in the mix." Read more on the blog.

"We are back in warm tones territory again this week with YELLOW.  Now "banana" was a very pale yellow and "goldenrod" was a very vibrant yellow on its way toward orange" and "lemon yellow"." Read more on the blog.

"Back in the land of earthy goodness, we have a muted and medium brown tone. This differs from taupe in value, being darker -- but what is dark taupe ends  all depends on your point of view.   I didn't have to look too far to find an outfit. This may be all that delving in my closet, who knows?" Read more on the blog.

"It is midnight in Paris and the place is bustling.  And here we are in yet another red outfit, this time "brick".  So far we have had mahogany, jazzberry and just plain red -- and we still have mulberry to go. Oh my! And I didn't count cerise in there!" Read more on the blog.

"We’re almost half way through the April 2021 “Springtime Fabulous” FabFree Photo Challenge… but there is still lots of time for you to get your contest entries in!" Read more on the blog.

"Not too surprisingly Pantone had a huge selection of examples of this week's styling choice -- all very different from each other.  I went for the middle ground and then, just to REALLY cover my bases, used three tones of our neutral palette." Read more on the blog.

"I was well-versed on PLUM from the original challenge a decade ago. For a very long time this post, "Where Does Plum Begin?" was in my most viewed pages of the week. It would pop up from time to time and year to year so I remembered the post title easily. That's a good thing because blogger doesn't seem to search all that well when you have almost 6000 posts in your blog!" Read more on the blog.

"A chill is in the air, that damp time when the seasons change once again.  Walking the streets at Templemore City, it didn't take me long to find a photo op spot. Feeling a bit Parisienne in my jaunty hat and stylish coat, a city backdrop was on the agenda -- and happily easy to find." Read more on the blog.

"This month (October), it is Breast Cancer Awareness. My mother was first diagnosed with breast cancer. That was one of the worst days of my life since she was my friend, my rock, and the only person in the world that truly loved me unconditionally. She had the operation and went into remission. Unfortunately, not all cells were caught and it spread into her body to finally find a home in her pancreas. I lost her 3 years ago, which still feels like yesterday." Read more on the blog.

"We are still on the warm side of the color wheel this week with TANGERINE.  I had a bit of a problem wrapping my head around this "hue"; I mean it is orange, right?  Well in the fruit world there is a difference between an orange and a tangerine and in a color palette there is too." Read more on the blog.

"Back in the yellow family again! So many yellows. Well I guess we could say that for any color really. We still have lemon yellow and gold to go -- but today's sunny hue is GOLDENROD.  A very saturated (bright) yellow on its way toward orange.  Pantone had decided that goldenrod is somewhat like this:" Read more on the blog.

"I really was dreading the appearance of yellow -- pale yellow especially. That is one thing I am pretty sure is missing in my inventory.  I am writing this obviously BEFORE I come up with my styling for week 4; some hard shopping may be in order." Read more on the blog.

"I bet you are wondering how I am choosing the colors each week.  I could of course pick out a hue available in a recent purchase, but where would the fun be in that?  There are 52 weeks to choose from.  I think of a number between 1 and 52 (with number 38 out of the running) and then look up that color on my keepsake page."
