To mix up this soft denim-like color, combine one part of Navy (recipe Mix # 9-7 in my Clay Color System) and 4 parts of Ecru Base Mix # 2-8 (see my Clay Color System).
So there you have the recipes for the top ten Pantone Fall 2011 colors. I will share next with you some of the combinations I created with these colors. If anyone has been following our blog and experimenting with their new colors and would like to share, please feel free to leave a comment with a link.

I've had several requests for where I purchased our Pantone color cards. Pantone has all types of color cards -- from plastic to cloth swatches. You can even purchase them as an app for your ipod or iphone.
Pantone even has a cool gadget called a "Capsure" where you can hold it over almost any type of surface and it will match it to a Pantone Color.
At more than $600, I will have to pass on buying one for now, however.
We just have the "paper" set which are nice and compact and look like the paint chips you get in a paint store but in a sort of book style. A much more practical tool for us.
We purchased our set over 5 years ago at a much better price so I am glad we invested in a set when we did.

Very nice Roberta. Thanks so much for sharing!
Are you using Kato clay or is that another brand? Just curious...
