Swatch Combo 10 - Watermelon On Your Wall


Well the name says it all doesn't it? I like this dulled down version of watermelon colours! It's vibrant but doesn't hurt your eyes!!!

Swatch Combo 9 - Lipsticks-a-plenty

Here's my token use of 'red as a highlight'. Such a current colour trend! Here I've used it in a bit of a different way though. Instead of with greys etc I've used it in an analogous, discordant (the light purple and the darker reds) scheme.

Swatch Combo 8 - Kid-o-rama


Wow! The big block of yellow breaks up the sickly baby pink and blue pastels down the bottom.

Swatch Combo 7 - CEO Chic


The subtle warmth of the grey makes this combination friendly, while the blue and black make it serious and stylish.

Swatch Combo 6 - Rosy the Mermaid


Softly does it... the middle blue/green gives it a bit of a cool/non pastel edge to the other soft pastel colours.

Swatch Combo 5 - Water in the Medicine Cabinet


Ok my names for these just keep getting more and more ridiculous! Sorry! I think the slightly dulled red makes it here. If the red were too bright it would just look ridiculous. Another example of a combo that works well with equal colour proportions.

Swatch Combo 4 - Modern Beesting


This is a trendy one these days... using yellow with grey. In fact any bright colour with grey. I like it. The yellow is deep and slightly dulled which makes it subtle and warm.
