The Citrus Pink-Orange
Glide 55361 Grapefruit is the vivid pink-orange of fresh grapefruit — bright, slightly tart, and distinctly citrus. A vivid colour that reads as simultaneously orange and pink with the specific refreshing quality of the fruit. For citrus-palette, tropical, and bold contemporary quilts where the colour should feel as fresh and vivid as a cut grapefruit, it sits between Tangerine and Crush in the citrus warm family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Grapefruit differ from Crush?
Both bridge orange and pink, but Grapefruit is slightly softer and more natural — fruit flesh rather than soda pop — while Crush pushes to full artificial-bright saturation. On natural citrus prints Grapefruit blends better; on maximum-vivid party fabrics, Crush carries more punch.
What citrus palette pairs with Grapefruit thread?
Tangerine for the orange, Key Lime for the green, and Lemon-family yellows build the full citrus bowl. White or cream sashing thread keeps the palette crisp, and consistent Glide weight means no tension changes across colour swaps.
Is Grapefruit suitable for modern solids quilts?
Yes — on contemporary colour-block quilts using coral, melon, and pink-orange solids, Grapefruit both blends tone-on-tone on matching blocks and reads as a deliberate warm accent across adjacent colours.
