Colors, Colors, Colors

So the color debate begins.  I am pretty set on red and orange, but what shade? My first instinct was garnet and tangerine. Andrew came up with the brilliant idea to go get paint samples and compare them.  By the way, the camera makes the pictures look a little dull (the colors are much more vibrant in person!) So, here are the pictures, let me know which combo is your favorite! 

 
Kumquat, Chili Pepper, Bamboo Leaf


Kumquat, Cranberry Zing **Andrew's Favorite (with the green)


Kumquat, Licorice Stick


Kumquat, Mai Tai


Bamboo Leaf, Cranberry Zing, Volcanic Blast


Volcanic Blast, Licorice Stick


Volcanic Blast, Licorice Stick, Bamboo Leaf 


Bamboo Leaf, Solar Flare, Licorice Stick **Amy's favorite (so far!)


Blackie helped too, but refused to chose a favorite.

    i think i might be colorblind they all look the same. But it's not my wedding. So whatever you pick i know you will look great in and so will the wedding party. But i am particular liking the green

    Hey... The Red & Orange look amazing together... Just a little help.... The colors you pick aren't going to the paint chips, they are truly going to be the fabric of the dresses/tux vests you choose from what they have to offer. So stick with simple Red and Orange and choose either a tropical or passionate red & orange.. and look at what designers and people have to offer, because those paint chips aren't going to those perfect colors. I hope this helps you!!
    Miss ya!

    My thoughts:

    Bamboo Leaf
    Solar Flare
    Cranberry Zing

    I like the contrast of the deeper red against the lighter orange and green. Plus it's a good pick if you want that incorporated in tuxs (vest) or just go classic all black tux with red or orange boutineer.

    I'd definitely recommend a lighter/muted orange (Kumquat or Solar) because otherwise it gets a little construction worker-ish (Volcanic).

    Love, love, LOVE the green you picked. The perfect gerbera green and will look awesome as an accent color!
