Three Summer Colors for Embroidery
What Colors Are Recommended for Summer Embroidery? COSMO’s Summer Color Palette
Blazing sunlight, a clear blue sea, wind chimes swaying on the veranda—summer has colors that belong only to summer.
If you enjoy embroidery, why not express the season’s colors in thread? This time, we introduce a color palette perfect for summer embroidery from the COSMO® perspective.
Three Tones of Summer Color
Summer colors fall into three broad tones.
① Clear Tone—Transparent Blues, Light Blues, and Whites
Clear, bright colors that evoke summer skies and the sea. Soft light blues with plenty of white, and deep royal blues, are ideal for expressing a sense of coolness. Stitched on airy linen or Java cloth, they make a distinctly summery piece.
② Vivid Tone—Sunflower, Coral, and Watermelon Red
Energetic colors that suggest summer festivals and tropical lands. Bright yellows and oranges and passionate reds tighten the impression of a piece with just a small accent of embroidery.
③ Earth Color Tone—Greens, Khakis, and Terracotta
Calm natural colors that evoke shade and grasslands. Used as a “subtractive accent” alongside main colors, they give a piece depth.
