I’m not really sure why I named this combination Urban Fall — it just seems to fit. Mixed colors tend to feel sophisticated and I like the two-tone Chartreuse together with the gray (which I think would translate nicely into touches of metallic) I can imagine these colors in a Nordstrom display window, can’t you?
Challenge: Sophisticated colors call for a sophisticated design. Create a card or scrapbook page with single elements (one photo, one word, one decorative element.) In other words, keep it simple.
Even Better: If you are going to use a photo in your design, consider converting it to black and white, so the subtlety of the contrast here is not disturbed by additional colors in your photo.
Great color combo! I love it….
Love this combo — tried it right away with a photo I took today — will be doing this again in my traditionally scrapped books — need to make some black and white prints — would be a fun combo for a mini album! Anyway, here is my take on the color combo:

I have always loved your color schemes and this one is no exception. When I’m at a loss for color combos on my layouts/cards, I come to this site and look at all the great colors you’ve combined and can ALWAYS find what I need. Thank you.
