Color Wheel Wednesday | Plum and Goldenrod

12/12/2012 by Jennifer 4 Comments

Here’s the honest truth. I can’t deal with purple and yellow! In kindergarten, my teacher taught me that purple and yellow create brown. After that, I found it crazy to put the two together. It’s been my pet peeve since then. However, the other day I looked down and realized I was wearing a mustard yellow scarf and purple jeans. Uh oh. Only the thing is, I liked it. This is a color combination I am learning to love. Or…like. After all, I am an adult. Maybe it’s time to look past the strong opinions I made as a five year old.

To get as far away as possible from bright purple and bright yellow, I’d like to call this color duo “plum and goldenrod.” They are both rich jewel tones and together, they look just dandy.

one, two, three

Isn’t that dress beautiful? I love it.
