Color Pale:
In the 1960's, ranchers in the United States, Canada, and Scandinavia—the three largest mink-producing areas—were marketing nearly SO different shades, although more than 100 had been leveloped. The basic color pales, each of which has nany variations in shade and cast, are standard lark, brown, light brown, silverblu, sapphire, junmetal, pale gray, pale beige, lavender beige, fray taupe, pale brown, and white. In recent years,pale beige types with pink and olive casts also have been developed. The gradations in shade within the color pale phases are known as stewart and breath-of-spring.Such variations make a huge difference to the effect of color pale combinations; different intensities of one basic color pale create a completely different feel. Take an apparently simple association of blue and yellow. Pale blue and pale yellow is a soft, unchallenging combination with a restful and airy feel to it. Now consider a mixture of golden yellow and violet blue and you have a far more vibrant and challenging effect which makes much more of a statement.
White mixes well with almost any color pale scheme. Interspersed with pale color pales, it can create subtle harmonies. White can serve as a backdrop for strong color pales or as a way of brightening up dark ones. Black contrasts well with white, yellow and pale tints - ideal for bold and dramatic effects.
