Every year, Etsy chooses a “Color of the Year.” This year, I received an email from them saying they were choosing “Lime Cream.” The email then showcased some vendors’ offerings of what Etsy considers to be lime cream.
Why Lime Cream?
Lime Cream is an invigorating blend of citrusy lime and soft cream tones, creating a balanced color that is both striking and soothing. This color, reminiscent of DMC’s 164 and DMC 3364, offers a perfect harmony between vibrancy and subtlety. It’s a color that stands out without overwhelming, making it a versatile choice for various embroidery designs.
DMCs 164 and 3364 are in the photo below. What embroidery patterns come to your mind when you see those colors?
The DMC color 3364 leans toward the calming side of colors while the DMC 164 looks to me like it’s more of a Spring color full of hope like Spring generally is.
What can you create with Ety’s color choice of the year, Lime Cream?
