Since the Colors of the Year were announced by Pantone, we’ve been trying to create some designs which feature our authentic Murano Glass Beads. And I was having a bit of difficulty with the colors. Then at a girl’s softball practice, there they were – and created by nature for all of us to see.
A beautiful setting sun which was shining through our normal San Francisco Bay fog produced exactly the colors. I apologize if my photography doesn’t get it just right. But sitting in the bleachers watching practice, the colors in the sky, simply stunning and even Serene!

Without that sunset, I would still be struggling to see how these colors go together. I was thinking “baby shower” pink and blue. So back to the design desk – with new inspiration and appreciation for the knowledge of those talented people at Pantone!
Here’s a couple of designs we came up. They are free and each one has instructions as well as the list of components required.

Reading about the new Pantone colors a couple of months back, my reaction was that these were my kind of colors!!! I think the reason was the fact that they are the sunset colors. Here in Kansas, we have mostly clear days & our sunsets are beautiful. The sky’s blue & the rose are a wonderful combination.
Yes, it just took me longer to see the colors – again this afternoon watching softball practice, they were there again. The colors are growing on me!
