Color Palettes: What to Pair with the Color Red
Lampworking Soft Glass Color Reference
Then it goes back in its little cubby ... until I feel guilty that it never gets attention like the other colors do ... and I pull it out again, only to repeat the cycle.
But Fall is another story. When mother nature paints a gorgeous picture outside your window full of reds and yellows and greens and blues, then you know it is time. The red glass will have its day.
Red, orange and yellow are a natural pairing as they are on the same side of the color wheel. Red and turquoise have been a popular combination for southwest designs. Red and green are together frequently at Christmas.

And really, who doesn't swoon just a little over that perfect chartreuse shade of green.
