Citron/ Gray color story giveaway

Congratulations!
Megan N
you're the randomly chosen winner 
for last weeks Sorbet Color story  giveaway
Please email your name and street address to: Info@michaelmillerfabrics.com

 Now onto today's color story:
The color citron (and all it's variations) is a great example of how color trends evolve. 
.
Color trends usually start on the fringes.  That's why I like to say, "pay attention to what you don't like". Your negative reaction may stem from the fact that it's "new" and your eye hasn't become adjusted to it.  For example this ad was from around 2006.   When I've shown this the reaction is usually negative.  Comments like, "I could never wear that color  next to my skin".  But it's amazing how the more we see a color over time, the more we start to accept it and before you know it we're buying it.  Probably not in this super saturated undiluted Dior couture creation but it'll start sifting into the mix of everything you buy from your clothes right down the line to the plastic storage bins you stash them in for the next season.

just for fun check out this scene from the movie:
So once again I've shared my thoughts, now share yours. 
Leave a comment and a yard of each of the  
 prints pictured above
could be yours.
The randomly chosen winner will be announced next Wed. along with a new color story 
and another 
GIVEAWAY!

  6. It took me a long long long time to not bristle at the yellow-gray combination that has been so popular over the last few years. I'm finally starting to see things in this scheme and think they're cute. They're still not "me" though, so don't enter me in the drawing. I just wanted to comment on the evolution idea. :)

  15. This is so true! When I was in a quilt guild in CA in 2000, the old ladies thought I was weird for wanting quilt blocks in purple & lime green, or orange & blue. Now I see it everywhere!

    I'm excited that grey is back, but I prefer the lighter color.

    ReplyDelete

  25. I have been obsessed with this color combo since college, so when my boyfriend proposed I knew immediately what I wanted my wedding colors to be!! I'm incorporating fabric and quilted details into my wedding decor and have had my eye on these fabrics for a while. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. it is fascinating how something that you originally didn't like can end up becoming a favourite... I find fashion has that effect on me a lot and since becoming a sewist, so has fabric combinations.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Believe it or not, I'm seeing this color combo at a lot of weddings lately. It's summery and elegant at the same time. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I remember painting color wheels at art school and then learning color theory and suddenly grey was an actual color for me... (AND I can't believe I have spelt color the American way 4 times now!! Feels weird LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love this color combination. It's one of my most favorites. I saw an ad in the NY TImes a few months ago, I think it was Eileen Fisher...a gray sweater with a citron scarf wrapped around the neck. It was wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just love it all!!! and I love how gorgeous fabric is always, always 100% fat free ;-)

  33. I really like the citron! Its pairing with gray helps soften it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. big fan of the bicycles. and thank you very much for explaining the whole "trends" thing. i've been asked that question many times and always find it hard to explain the phenomenon you so very well described. yay! for citron and grey! (and personally, i've been obsessed with that dior "yellow" for quite some time. loooovely!)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just love this color combination. Love those fabrics too!

    ReplyDelete

  37. I love the citron grey combo. It was interesting what you said about color trends. I remember years ago, watching Trading Spaces--the designers were using light blue and chocolate together. I thought that was such an awful color combination for home decor. Eventually, I got used to it. Then I loved it. Then I got sick of it. :)
    Thanks for the chance to win some fabric!

  52. I have been struggling to come up with a color for our main bathroom. I wanted to do something fun and colorful, not our usual brown/earth tones.

    ReplyDelete
  90. This is one of my current favorite combinations!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I find this colour combo really peaceful and calming. Thanks for the chance to win :-)

    ReplyDelete
  93. I think that sometimes when we see a colour in isolation we can't 'interpret' it into our lives. It is only when we see it combined with a more familiar colour that we can say that's fabulous. I like this combination. It is a great example of how to learn to mix colours up.

    ReplyDelete

  120. Love this color combo!!!! It reminds me of a cold, windy day on the beach....which is something I have been wanting for a long time. the beach in the summer is great, but nothing beats sitting on the beach in october in a big ole hoodie, just listening to the ocean!

    ReplyDelete

  122. Absolutely love it! Like the punches of black with it as well! You are so right...sometimes a person can't "get into the color" until they have "lived" around it for a while. This color business is fascinating!!

    ReplyDelete
  123. I have been searching for a color combination for my daughters room and I just love this. I have always loved gray maybe because I love elephants. This just puts together the way I pictured it.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I love this fabric collection!!! It's something I would have never walked in and picked out myself but I can see so many possibilities! It is gorgeous!!! Thank you for opening my eyes!!! Amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Love Love love the grey! And the lemon drops you have in that picture remind me of how my grandma always had a bowl of them sitting in her livingroom. I'd sneak them until my mouth was sore! I love the citron and grey together. It's an exciting new combination!

    ReplyDelete
  126. I love the color theories you are presenting! Really interesting about the darker the hair, the more intense the color and vise versa!! I never knew!! I love my colors saturated - and i'm a brunette! LOL! The citron and grey combo is one of my favorites, and this line is absolutely gorgeous! Love love love the high contrast, and modern statement they make!
    Citron and all it's derivitives has been a long time favorite of mine - and i love putting it with red! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I've been wanting to get a collection of new, "fresh" fabrics and this is the one. I'm shopping for a quilt pattern now.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I am loving this colorway as I have found that I love the grey/citron combination. These fabrics are awesome and I have 2 local quilt shops to get these in!

    ReplyDelete
  129. a whole yard of each! oh the possibilities!!!!!! I am not sure I like the picture, and the 80's poofy frizzy hair was ugly. some things are too much. I think it is a perfectly fine color mixed with gray, and you have proven that with this wonderful collection.

    ReplyDelete
  130. You are making me feel better about changing my mind on colors I strongly dislike. Orange and mustardy yellow were my least-liked colors, and now I want to quilt with them in a big way. Your post made me feel less like a wishy-washy follower--I am someone who rejects the new and dislikes change, and it's no surprise I'm that way with color as well.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  147. absolutely love the citron and grey collection!
    looking at it brings to mind lemonade and silver. both of these are cooling to the mind. maybe it is because we are in the middle of summer with my a/c on the fritz that i find these prints so refreshing.
    bold and crisp and cool yet lemon is a warm color, non? and very retro... so much that i envision sitting at a 60's diner, with yellow arborite tables and covered seats, sipping on cool lemonade, wearing a skirt of the large black and yellow flowers. the waitress behind the long counters of course would be wearing an apron from one of the prints. and of course outside the window people would be riding bicycles.
    it also reminds me of the 60's and my mother as she would wear prints like these. she was bold for women of her day and i loved her clothes.
    i love it!

    ReplyDelete
  148. My daughter and I love this new line!
    My son and his fiancé are not quilt people but I wanted to make a quilt for their wedding, so I showed them this collection of fabric and they fell in love with it. We plan to make a contemporary quilt with this fabric and this is perfect for the couple! This yellow and grey combination has shown up in their wedding plans!
    Check out this website for citron/gray wedding trends.

    ReplyDelete
  155. These would go so sweet in my daughters bedroom. I have the 16 inch horizontal gray and white stripes painted and I'm ready to decorate! Pick me!!!

  163. Where were you three years ago when I was getting married???? We incorporated these colors into our wedding almost 3 years ago this September. We had a vintage yellow Schwinn tandem bicycle that provided the inspiration. My husband is a cycling addict so it only seemed fitting to incorporate the tandem and the color scheme into our wedding. Oh the fun things I could have done with these fabrics!

  164. Love the clip from The Devil Wears Prada almost as much as I love these fabrics. I had been looking for this color combination and was delighted when I found it in some of my favorite Michael Miller fabric designs.

  165. LOVE the color combination!! The funny thing is I was just thinking the other day how pretty much everything we wear is- without us realizing it- exactly what the fashion industry is telling us to wear. I was looking at all the trendy outfits and accessories and thinking how all the young girls probably felt like they had come up with the idea when in reality it was put together by someone long before they ever saw and purchased it!

  167. I have never really been much for yellow, but I actually like this combo. It would make a cute spring dress!

  168. I'm sad :(
    I can't find any Zoology in Citron fabric anywhere! I am pregnant with my first baby and am choosing various MM grey and citron prints for everything but the zoology in citron is nowhere to be found. Can someone help me??

    Thanks for considering me,

    Adele.

  170. Yellow has never been my favorite color but everytime I enter a fabric shop I am drawn to the yellows. Putting it with gray makes it absoulty stunning. I love this whole collection. By the way my kitchen is painted in 4 shades of yellow. Go figure LOL
