The first thing that popped into my head as the image scrolled by on my screen was Monarch, as in the butterfly, The beautiful bronze color and the spots.. Yeah when I got a longer look, I saw pinks and blues, but I am sticking with my first impression. –
Monarch
Sunrise by the Lake
Or
Coral Reef
_
Popsicle
Honeysuckle
Morning Haze – reminds me of the colours as the mists lift on a summer’s morning
Shepherd’s Delight ……. as in red sky at night shepherds delight
For me it would have to be “Eclipse” reminds me of a lunar eclipse at sundown!
Reminds me of Waterford’s copper coast with the blue sea&sky, copper sand, sea shells and the sea pink flowers that grow along the coast. I’d call it Copper Coast. Looks divine!
Looks like Bubblegum Sorbet to me.
I’m thinking fruit and ice cream; Knickerbocker Glory or Summer Sundae!
It reminds me of a shepherds delight but someone already said that so now I call it “Valentia” my favourite place in the summer with summer skies, hedge rows with all those orange lilys and fushia and all you want is to be by the sea on the beach. In case the evening is chilly one needs a shawl in these colours. Then on those days that are dull and grey you put on your shawl and straight away you are back in Valentia!!!!!
Lavender sky for my tuppence worth
It reminds me of the inside of giant jawbreakers – maybe Jawbreaker? sweet and worth the effort to get!!
These gorgeous colors remind me of sweet, delicious cotton candy swirls from a summer carnival, so I would name it Cotton Candy!
Another one – bellini
African sunset, it evokes a feeling of lions basking in the sunset of the Serengeti. It is just fabulous
Summer Bouquet or Summer Blooms
First I thought of Sunset Surf, with the blue and green speckles reminding me of the sea. Then after seeing that a lot of the suggestions contain “sunset” I thought maybe Sundown Splash.
It’s a beautiful colourway, regardless of the name.
Honeysuckle
It reminds me of Tutti Frutti!
