It's incredible. <br /><br />The dress she wore in the video is earthy and strong. I like the seaming. You have such a great eye for designing. Thanks for sharing.

Use is free, but donations appreciated.<br /><br />http://colorschemedesigner.com/<br /><br />To get an orange based brown set the color at orange in the mono color screen, click on "Adjust Scheme", and drag the little curser down toward black. It will say saturation and brightness, until you get the shade of brown you have. Then go back to "Hues" and click on the color schemes to play with the colors. You can click and drag the solid circles to play with the color schemes a bit more. There are lots of application for this little program. I even donated.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-81072463304110326932012-02-12T19:49:55.189-05:002012-02-12T19:49:55.189-05:00Carolyn, I love that you are making a tribute to W...Carolyn, I love that you are making a tribute to Whitney and can't wait to see the finished dress.<br /><br />Brown IS on the color wheel - sorta. Every color has a brown. When looking at brown, you need to determine the underlying color - is it blueish brown? reddish? greenish?<br /><br />I was recently taught this after trying to put a brown sweater with green undertones together with a top in brown with orange undertones. These did not at all look good together. When I inquired of a lady I know who is a color specialist, she taught me that brown has undertones. <br /><br />Now that I know, I see it everywhere!Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8406195235841084072012-02-12T19:47:40.941-05:002012-02-12T19:47:40.941-05:00Watching the video just made me so sad.

I am imagining an orange cardigan worn over a brown dress that has interesting seaming topstitched in orange. And kick'n shoes of course.
