The Warm Melon Colour
Glide 67739 Melon is the warm, peachy melon colour of the fruit's flesh — a warm yellow-green with peachy undertones that bridges the warm green and peachy-orange families. On melon-coloured fabrics and summer fruit-palette quilts, Melon integrates with the most natural tropical warmth. Around it in the summer palette, Glide Chiffon covers the soft peachy pastels, Glide Tangerine the vivid citrus orange, and Glide Kiwi the fresh fruit-green.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Glide Melon more of a green or a peach?
It genuinely bridges both — a warm yellow-green with a peachy cast, like honeydew flesh shading toward cantaloupe. On fabrics that sit between soft green and soft peach, neither family's standard threads blend cleanly; Melon was matched for exactly that in-between summer-fruit territory.
What quilts call for Melon thread?
Summer fruit novelty prints, tropical palettes, picnic and farmers-market themes, and children's bright warm quilts. It is also a surprisingly effective blender across warm pastel quilts that mix peach, soft yellow, and light green in one palette.
How should I test Melon against my fabric?
Lay a strand across the fabric in daylight rather than judging the cone — bridging colours like Melon shift noticeably with the fabric behind them. If it reads too green, step to Chiffon or a peach; too peachy, step to Kiwi. When it disappears, you have the match.
