Thank you for the links, Cilean.

This is the most difficult color combination to find....  I can not even find a purple to match, if I went that way.

The sage fabric that I have, made the coppery/purple look doudy.  So, I may need to find a differnt tone of green.  A dark blue looked okay with it, and a marroon-ish (more towards the purple) did eh.  Out of all the boxes of fabric that I own, nothing is making it pop or stand up.   Any light creams make the fabric look washed out. 

I was going to use black as an accent, but not as a color, but I have have to.

Pinks, and oranges are out...  I'm running out of colors

Grey? Peacock blue? Chocolate brown? Light brown--caramel or tan?

That is sooo pretty.

When we did Caroline's dress (it was a goldish/pomegrant silk) we had to take it to the fabric store and hold it up to everything.

I have a similar fabric in a sort of parrot blue and gold. I did the same. I've found just the slightest change of tone makes a difference with this kind of "changeable" fabric.

I thought I found the perfect fabric online......   It's only $230 a yard.  I think it has real gold in it.  ;)
