Default What lampwork colors go with these



I want to make some beads to go with these...it is not really all that simple...
I could use a frit but...I think I need to get some sage green or avocado...
what do you think...maybe even a DH color...might look good...that one that looks kind of khaki....
thanks in advance for your suggestions

If you're looking for *similar* colors, how about ASK Silver Cinnamon, or CiM Canyon de Chelly? Also, my Vetro Odd "Moon Rock", when struck, looks agate-y like this (looks like you would expect "Petrified Rock" to look, but noooo ... any chance mine got mixed up ? <LOL>).

Lauscha olive might pick up some of those darker greens, and I first thought of red roof tile for the brick color.

CIM khaki is a stone shade of khaki

Opal yellow with silver foil burned in gets mustardy

BE ochre yellow with silver gets almost all those shades

I would use some silver leaf or foil to get those variegations and earth tones.

I think I would try to pull out the blues and greens. Maybe Glacier from CIM. If you work it long enough it will give a darker blue than it is in the rod. It makes its own striations and shading as well. I think you would want to keep any "pattern" in the lampwork to a minimum so it doesn't compete with the stone patterns. Those a beautiful beads by the way.
