Help me pick a color! (NBR)

ladipale · July 2011

I am ordering this for my sister in law as an engagement gift:

Well, the CA version and the PA version b/c thats where she and her FI are from. FI love orange, so I am planning to get the PA in orange (Vitamin C below), what color for CA would complement? Here are the color options:

I love orange and pink together, so I would like the Vitamin C with Berry.

Second choice for me would be Vitamin C and Navy.

Third would be Vitamin C and Teal.

Super cute idea!

From my color theory days... the complimentary color for orange is blue, so my vote would be for Navy.

It would depend for me on where she's from in CA and what the mood is when she thinks of home. For me, as a south bay girl, Sunshine says home to me. If she were from the city, maybe Fog? Navy is pretty but the combo says collegiate sports to me. Good luck deciding!

I like this combo...Sharks colors (well, teal, black and orange)

Navy and Orange is a good combo too.

Yep, I feel like it's expected and theoretically the best one, but my first thought was of my Auburn Tigers so I was drawn to picking a less expected favorite for that reason, solely.

BTW, this is totally a pinterest find!

I went with Sunshine.... their living room is warm with oranges and yellows so I think it will work.

I would try to find out her wedding colors.

Before deciding on the orange and a color to go with it think about what will look best in their house rather than what their favorite colors are. So many times people buy things for others homes that just don't work. I love the print, love the sentiment and love orange and blue together but, if I was given them...they wouldn't work in my home and I'd be less likely to use them. Then I'd feel guilty!!! Just throwing it out there as I've come across tons of clients that this happens to and then they don't know what to do with the stuff. They end up hanging it up but never fully loving it and thats not what you want. You want them to love it

yeah, orange is a big color in their house, and they are using it in their wedding as well. so i knew i was pretty safe in picking it. i thought about the house set up before i even through orange out as a fav color.

I like vitamin C with Navy the best.

Second choice would be berry.

Third choice would be leaf.
