Text: Considering color and texture. These swatches are not necessarily accurate color combinations but simplify ways of handling color for consideration – we all know matching skirtings to sweaters is not new – or exciting – altho it will undoubtedly continue to be in demand – I feel however, we should limit the matching range to about 6 or 7 and attempt to develop a more interesting range of blends, harmonies, and mixtures with a yearly selection of about 25 or 30 sweater colors, with no seasonal demarcations, we should be able to break these down into small coordinated promotional groups therefore allowing for the greatest flexibility in choices to the buyer.
