This is the Pantone Color Report for Spring 2010. As you can see, the colors are bright and fun, Summery and remind me of a nice Caribbean vacation but with a few muted and earthy tones mixed in. These are perfect colors to work with and as it turns out, I had just about every color in my bead stash.I had fun putting them all together into a bead organizer. See below!
Then I went back through my stash and pulled out some art beads that would go with the color choices here. I labeled them for your convenience. 
Just writing up this post was inspiring and I really wish I could stay home and bead.
But I'm keeping these out so that when my muse hits, they'll be at an easy reach.
I hope that you feel inspired to put together some fun and bright designs using
these color ideas. I think they'd even go well all together in once piece.
Okay don't get crazy, Lorelei.

These colors are a breath of fresh air. The snow has melted here leaving behind a ton of muck and mud, which gets tracked in our house. Also, I can't remember ever having so many days of fog--it has been around for nearly two weeks with no signs of letting up. Thanks for the pick-me-up with these great colors!
I'm drooling over your artist focal beads and would love to see what you do with them.
LOVE how you pulled all the colors together in art beads. I think you're right, they would all go well together in one piece :)
Thanks, Lorelei. For some reason, I am especially attracted to the rose and deep lavender colours. I may have to do some things this next firing in those. It is a nice tropical mix isn't it?
Very inspiring and I love the colors - I need spring!!! Love the focals
That is a great report Lorelei! Thanks for sharing that! I am inspired to use more bright colors in my work this year. I have a tendency to run dark and neutral. No more! I just ordered some bright fibers and I am inspired to find ribbons in these fun loving colors. Thanks for brightening my corner of the world today. Enjoy the day! Erin
Thanks for highlighting the Spring colours, I'll definitely bear them in mind for my new designs :D
Gorgeous colors...very tropical!!! I've already ordered beads with those colors in mind...
Cheers
I DARE you to put them all together in one piece! :)
