Frequently Asked Questions
How does Spice Brown differ from Dijon?
Dijon leans mustard — a yellow-influenced spice tone — while Spice Brown carries more orange and reads as cinnamon-nutmeg. Mustard and ochre fabrics blend with Dijon; cinnamon, rust-brown, and pumpkin-spice fabrics blend with Spice Brown.
Is Spice Brown or Tangerine better for pumpkin fabrics?
It depends on the pumpkin: bright, saturated pumpkin prints match Tangerine, while muted, earthy pumpkin and harvest fabrics match Spice Brown's browner cast. Many autumn quilts use Tangerine on the focal pumpkins and Spice Brown across the earthy background.
What autumn palette does Spice Brown anchor?
Spice Brown for the warm base, Dijon for the mustard note, a rust red-orange for maple tones, and Hickory for the darkest timber shade. The palette covers most harvest and Thanksgiving fabric lines with four thread changes or fewer.
