I was semi-reorganizing some fabrics today and ran across an unusual amount of turquoise. I understand how a color wheel works. The color directly across on the Tietery (sp) wheel looks to be a burnt orange. In my mind, that sounds just wrong. Maybe that would be a combination that needs to grow on me. Any thoughts out there?

Or other shades of the same turquoise.

Here's a muted version - teal and rust.
It wasn't planned but I love the way it came together.

I don't know about Burnt Orange, but I love Turquoise.

Imagine...fighting over fabric!! LOL

I can't see burnt orange with turquoise because one has a yellow undertone and one has a blue undertone but what do I know...I'm just a newbie...but I do have a color wheel. I know that a light florencent (sp) green goes well with turquoise. Also a coral.
