So I got in touch with our friends at She-Beads, and we came up with an even BETTER idea…
Leave me a comment here, tell me what 2, 3 or 4 colors you would use to make your dream bracelet. Next Thursday morning, I’ll draw a winner, and that winner will have that bracelet MADE FOR THEM by She-Beads…
That’s a pretty spiffy offer, I’d say!
If you’re struggling for color names, check out this site, which has color names that you’ve never even heard of, or look at my earlier post here, which might help you be more precise.
I’m really looking forward to your responses, because I’m going to look to them for ideas about color schemes for upcoming blog posts, too. Of course, when the winning bracelet is done, I’ll be doing a post specifically about it!
My favorite color scheme? They’ve already got bracelets just for me:

What’s your preference? Lots of brights? More classic navy and grey? I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
Black, white and cobalt :-)
Looking through what I have maybe switch out the white for cream/off-white or a light grey/silver…definitely black and cobalt though. These are my mainstays!
So exciting! White, crimson red and fucsia. Very bright!
Arte
Love the color site you suggested. I prefer black, white & citron.
Lavender, black and milky white (like the Hope collection on the site)
Byzantium, dark slate grey and lavender grey would be lovely. I like all the different colour names on that site.
I love the Pistachio Arm Candy, and the royal purple and gold. LOVELY items!!!
Such a hard decision…let's go with black, white, and citron. But, honestly there are many combinations I would love…like the silver ones at the top!!
Any blues and greens with an accent of yellow.
–LindaC in AZ
red, fuchsia, orange, coral, geranium… all the hots!
A deep plummy purple, forest green, China blue and ash gray for Fall and Winter if they are creating custom beads? Or, "Emmy" is already perfect for my Spring, Summer wardrobe. I've had Emmy in my shopping bag …. BTW, I also noticed they do charity beads. I'm definitely going to buy the FARE bracelet to support food allergy awareness. I will think of my son every time I wear it. Food allergies have shaped his life and made him stronger. Thanks to She Beads for supporting so many worthy causes.

Salmon, turquoise and gray, please!
For this summer, black, white and a sharp green like chartreuse please. Building summer wardrobe around black, white and color pops like the green or orange.
Queen blue, Cadet and Snow – love the names. But don't enter me into the draw. I'm still grinning from yesterday's excitement.
The is very generous of them and you. I appreciate how you are branching out into the commercial aspect of blogging. I also really like the colour site you sent us to. I would cherish a bracelet of Lapis lazuli, Chinese red, sea shell.
Deb from Vancouver
Olive, Goldenrod, and Copper-red (or Terracotta) please.
Coquelicot, Jade, and Navy blue
Aqua, Mint Green, Turquoise, beach glass shades

This summer I'm really loving blush, nude and ivory.
By the way, I checked out She-Beads' website and was blown away! Hubby will definitely be getting some serious hints in that direction when my birthday rolls around.

How exciting! I would love a bracelet in caramel brown, tomato red, and black.
I like Oxford blue, dark blue grey, and beaver, with spanish crimson as the accent. What a lovely offer from She Beads! And what a fun website!
Jewel blue, Sea green, with a touch of fuchsia! Love this article!
Oh I LOVE the Inked Ivory on the She Beads site…perhaps with a pop of Raspberry!!

Licorice, maroon, magnolia for me, please. Thanks to person above who mentioned the food allergy awareness bracelet on the She beads site; I ordered two to honor my grandson who lives each day with a life-threatening tree nut allergy. Thanks to you for introducing this resource to us.
I love the black and white in your photo, which would coincidentally coordinate with most of my summer wardrobe. Black and caramel brown would be nice for winter.
I wear predominently black and white. Accents could be royal blue, hot pink or red. Love the bracelets!
The black and white bracelets are exactly what I would choose – love them.
I love to wear bracelets! My three bead colors would are black, taupe and a powder blue combo.
Black, Ivory and Paris Green
Navy, grey and either emerald or a dark pink
Pewter, bronze, copper and perhaps some amber!
Black, white, and olive, with copper, please!
Copper with black and olive would be beautiful!
Persimmon, heliotrope, emerald!

Hmmm. I like the Rachel bracelet and the Flower Power and Peacock. I think I am in trouble!
Ford light lime, Lavender blue periwinkle & Celeste Italian sky blue.
Lavender, grey, and white would be lovely!

How generous of you and She Beads! My choices would be sea glass greens, blues and purple for warm weather;;black, grey and burgundy for cold.

Hello, a lovely combination for me would be dark taupe and dark imperial blue and linen. Thanks for the chance!
Anja
Black, white and lime green
So many choices….. I think I would like malachite green and cornflower blue. One of my favorite color combos.
Cobalt, periwinkle, olive green……………
I think I might go for different shades of green–bright green, malachite, a kind of murky ocean underwater color… Perhaps some grey also.
How generous! Sign me up for navy and medium gray, with pops of aqua/teal and fuschia! Many thanks.
Peony pink, mint green, grey and black. ^_^
Pearl aqua and navy with just enough white to make these pop. What a wonderful gift! Gail
What a fabulous offer! My colors would be navy, gold and Aqua/turquoise.
My perfect bracelet would be gray, navy, and emerald green.
Most of my wardrobe is black…and white and cobalt blue or red in the summer, and pretty much the same in the winter – I love the way your organize colors. I don't know how to comment except by anonymous, don't have other accounts.
Such a lovely offer from both you and SheBeads! I'd love black, white periwinkle and silver!
I like black, white, coral and silver year round,
Olive and mossy greens paired with turquoise and aqua. Or Coral, melon with purple, violet. Can't decide.
Black, white, fuschia/dark pink
Silver, pearl, and periwinkle.
Periwinkle, cobalt, palest aqua and/or shell or blush pink.
Black, white, and khaki –Linda T from Okemos
Without reinventing the 'beads' I still like the Emmy colors as I did (said) before. They have a tropical feel to them. Can't go past butterflies and flowers in blues, greens and white. Thanks again She Beads and Janice. Carol S
I've been trying to match a Tibetan silk scarf for ages so my request is for coral, turquoise and gold.
Thank you.
Kate from Australia
I love emerald green, blue, taupe and cream together.
Ellen S
Black and hot pink would look great with the silver!
This is so generous. My choice would be brown, royal blue and chartreuse.
I would like a taupe, cream, and turquoise combination, with possibly a touch of orange. – DBQMary
The colors I would like in a bracelet are … peacock blue, lime green, yellow, and black or navy. So many colors , so hard to choose! Mollie
Something vintage and dusty, but in a fresh combination. Dusty pale lavender, taupe, and charcoal grey.
My favorite syrupy colors are turquoise and amethyst, with some white and red is good too. Nothing beats gold and silver though.
I'd love to see some warmer colors for the spring / summer. I'd like to see (green) khaki and navy with splashes of coral (bordering on orange), cream and turquoise.
Jadeite green (the vintage dishes), cobalt and cream.
Royal purple, cobalt blue, and white
I see I got a little over-excited with my color choices (5 rather than 2,3,or 4). So I'll stick with the kahki (green / amry green) and navy and coral with a pop or cream. Thanks!
Champagne, blush pink and very light gray… These colors represent my changing palette as I, uh, mature into my more magnificent self ?. Thank you Janice for highlighting a wonderful jewelry company… How fun!!!
Oops! Meant to put that under my G+ login…Stacy Jo McDermott… Sorry for not tapping the right icon…yikes…gotta go to bed.?

Purple with silver and black. But there are so many great choices on this list I would be tempted by!
Navy, grey and classic rose, the colors I wear all the time !
I love something with a bit of contrast so black white & teal
Navy, grey and classic rose are my colors.
Chartreuse, navy, gold.
Francesca
navy, white, teal blue and raspberry, this is my favourite summer colour palette.
thanks for this generous offer.
Turquoise/aqua, true red and white so I could mix it with black in the winter and navy in the summer.
Thanks for the generous gift.
I would have to choose mostly black and white, with a splash of red as those colors are the back bone of my wardrobe.Thanks for the chance to win.
navy, grey, dark raspberry/red-violet
turquoise, coral and white
A couple shades of green with black, white, or gray; or a couple shades of purple with the same; or wine-red with black or white. Preferably more emphasis on the color, with the neutral as more of an accent :-)
First-time poster, recent finisher of the archives – love your blog so much!
On second thought, not the red – either the green or the purple :-) Or several shades of brown. Thinking through my accessories and where I have gaps.
Hard to pick just one combo but I think sepia, turquoise and white would be striking!
Turquoise, purple, black would be stunning for me!! A second choice would be navy, Kelly green and a sunshine yellow.
Oh what a generous offer – I would love the combination of malachite green, beige and gold with orange accents –
It would go so well with my favorite Hermes scarf: les leopards in orange.
Several shades of blue would be perfect for the summer!
How amazingly sweet! I would love navy, coral and teal.
Fun! I choose ivory, beige, and a warm, medium-value pink.
Cornflower Blue, Gold and White (the blue being the dominant colour).
I find myself wearing that combo when I have a tan and usually when in Spain but strangely, never at home in Canada (too much winter)!
Your web site is so much fun. Thank you.
This would be awesome. For fall and winter, I would like cream, black, camel and wine.
Emerald, gray, and white
Blue, lavender, pale Aqua and grey.
Chestnut, laser lemon and up maroon.
My favorites are RED, WHITE, BLUE (NAVY)

I took a page out of your book – or entry off your blog I guess – and went with one of my favourite paintings – Tom Thompson's 'A Northern Lake" I picked four colours: Dark Sea green , Smoke, Copper and Cinereous because I liked the colour and the sound of the word:)
– Saskia
Turquoise and lime for me please! :)
I recently found your blog and now need to lurk on it every day! I'm still trying to decide whether my main color will be black or navy – but definitely with a nice dove grey, turquoise, a little royal blue and a touch of almond for contrast. It's been fun reading everyone's favorite color combos. – Carol S.
Cobalt blue with brown.
Robin's egg blue, coral, ivory, and cognac
Cardinal red, bright pink and goldenrod.
Soft medium tones of royal blue, silvery gray, and medium purple
Burgundy, copper, and buff/light khaki <3
I love Queenofmaye's idea of bronze, copper, and amber as well. So luxurious!

I would like to see a navy blue, rose and linen bracelet.
I love two of their combos: Inked Ivory Small Bead Patterned and Hope Small Bead Silver Round.
I Think Ivory/light pink/pale silver and navy blue.
choral and black :)
Pearl, AshGrey, and a midtone neutral – maybe Gainsborough? A mix of warm colours with blue shade undertones, and cool colours with warm shade undertones. I love and look best in the clear in-between colours: just nothing very muddy or bright..
Most fun of all would be to send in a photo of myself and to have Janice and SheBeads choose for me!!!
I still like the original options. I want B.
Louise P
Hard to choose! I have a new kimono type jacket/topper that has navy, rusty red, khaki, and turquoise. Of course, a classic black and white combo always looks good!
So much choise ! I like indigo bleu, white and silver.
Rosaline
I like imagining all the various color combinations already submitted, so many different interpretations of beauty! I would choose mellow rose, heather gray, white, and navy blue.
Medium grey/silver/steel with olive green, mustard yellow, eggplant purple and tomato paste red :)
Tea green + Pink lace + White
Cranberry, light pink, light to medium grey.
I like the black and white with silver, but the inked ivory is lovely, too.
Medium grey/silver + powder blue + darker blue (accent)
