Who says colours clash?

 Every day we are told that some colours just do not work together, who forgot to tell nature?

Just marvel at a few of the autumn blends, wild shades of orange mashed with pink, greens blended with gold.

The magic works despite different textures, levels of sheen or shapes.  This proves, if we dare, we can be a little radical and break the rules.
Marry the oranges and reds, say yes to the brown with black, cream with white, why not.  Nature pleases the eye, so careful combinations can work.

Every colour has a thousand shades and by using those shades you can make unlikely matches.  Fabric texture and finish also plays a part.  Rough with smooth, gloss with mat.  Try out snippets together  
to see the effects.

Remember if working on curtains, for example, then try out your snippets in that room in both the natural and the electric light.  Colours play tricks depending on the light.  Grey day and the autumn colours can almost look one shade of orange, sun out and the true range of colours shines out.

Have fun, go wild - it is only nature!
