I have been struggling with a better way to view my designs on SF in color-coordinated suites. I am now in the process of entering color codes for all of my designs (patience - I have only gotten through a couple hundred of my 3500+ designs). Here's the schema:
value Magenta Red Orange Yellow Heliodor* Green Cerulean* Blue Indigo Violet browN blacK grAy White (caps are the color codes)
M R O Y H G C B I V N K A W
XM1 XR1 XO1 XY1 XH1 XG1 XC1 XB1 XI1 XV1 XN1 XK1 XA1 XW1
XM2 XR2 XO2 XY2 XH2 XG2 XC2 XB2 XI2 XV2 XN2 XA2
XM3 XR3 XO3 XY3 XH3 XG3 XC3 XB3 XI3 XV3 XN3 XA3
1 is very light, 2 is medium and 3 very dark shades of a color
*Heliodor is a yellow-green color
**Cerulean describes a blue-green color - the aquas and teals and other pretty turquoise shades
Blue vs Indigo - think "blue-bird" brighter vs cobalt'/bluejeans shades.
Other terms I use:
MONO (monochrome), DUO (two colors), MULTI (many colors, usually at least 5)
MICRO20 (a rescaled version that is 20 percent of the original design scale and especially good for doll use), MICRO (small-scaled design), MEGA (large-scaled version)
PASTEL (overall pastel color quality to design), BRIGHT (overall, bright color quality to design)
You may use one or more of these as search terms, in addition to "GLIMMERICKS" to find fabrics by me that include these colors. It will take me awhile to get them all updated, but eventually I will get there. Finding new designs that aren't ready for sale is a bit tricker, you need a special query and can only search on one color:

where you can change the last three characters from xn1 (pale browns) to any of the choices in the table to view all my designs including that color/shade group.
As always, I can change the colors in any design to suit your needs. Please don't be afraid to ask for custom colors for a design you like.
