Gable Green
YoYo Yellow
Only Orange
Pink Passion
Pixie Pink
Orchid Opulence
Lovely Lilac
Brilliant Blue

So, tell us which is your favorite and why. (And if you have--or want to create--a project that features it, feel free to share a picture!)

My favorite Bold Bright creation just might be this 2-way open card featuring Pixie Pink and Pink Passion.

I've loved how happy and vibrant that pairing is--and it plays well with the greys. As soon as I saw the elephant in Animal Stories, I knew Ellie was meant to be surrounded by PPink and PPassion.

What can I say, I'm a child of the 80s. . . .

I do love Pixie Pink - I love the Bold Brights! great card Holly

Here is one of mine http://mjrindal.blogspot.com/2010/02...sy-garden.html

I am soooo not a hot pink person (although that's a cute card), so I have had a hard time using pixie and passion, although I did recently find out I like pink passion with handsome hunter. *sigh* My fav of those is lovely lilac, but will probably miss brilliant blue the most come July 4th or anytime I want to make something patriotic. Others I will miss is orchid, and gable green. The others, not so much.

[dmdezigns]

I'm going to miss green galore and gable green. I just love those light greens. . . . .

[Pepesmom]

I'll miss Green Galore and Gable Green the most. They are such fun colors for boys and Halloween.

And I just started liking orchid, especially with the Cottage Wall DSP.

[GuarinoMom]

Orchid, orchid, orchid!!! I HAVE to stock up on this color.

[yapha]

Brilliant Blue for kids' Hanukkah cards. (Like this one.)
Yo-yo Yellow is my mom's favorite color. (Hope she likes Daffodil!)
Eve is very sad about Pixie Pink and Pink Passion, but I'm okay since we have Melon Mambo!

[yapha]

Double post - sorry!

[Packer Fan]

Well, I have several that I will miss in this group! Lilac, Green Galore, Gable Green will be miss the most for me but I really have like this family and will have to find some subsitutes!

[HollyLogic]

Brilliant Blue for kids' Hanukkah cards. (Like this one.)

*muffled sob*

When I saw Brilliant Blue on the list, I felt like the dog had eaten my dreidel all over again. . . .

[LisaBee]

Gable and Galore and believe me or not Orchid. This card is one of my personal favorites with that color with sage which I almost never use.

[rhondastamps]

Brilliant Blue-just because there is no real substitute. As long as we have Melon Mambo I can live without Pixie & Passion Pink.

Green Galore I will miss a little-just because it makes a great lime for stamping.

I love Tangerine Tango as a sub for Only Orange. I don't like Yo yo yellow at all. Hoping that Daffodil is luscious!

[Pammybaby]

Brilliant Blue, Gable Green, and Green Galore for me. I didn't use them much, but when I did, they were good colors - particularly for kids' cards.

But, I'll live, because hey, we're getting some AWESOME new colors and the return of some FABULOUS in-colors!!! Woop-woop!

[lovetostampandscrap]

I'll miss Brillliant Blue, and not just because it and Basic Black were the first two stamp pads I ever bought. I love that bright blue hue, and it was great paired with Real Red for patriotic cards. I'll miss it.

[Beedubya]

All of these can go as far as I'm concerned. Brilliant blue was a used a bit but the rest are collecting dust.

[skdeleeuw]

Pink Passion

It's about the only one on the list that I really use. But Melon Mambo is a fabulous replacement, so I won't be crying too long.

[mbstamper]

Pink Passion (a long-time friend of mine) and maybe Green Galore and Orchid Opulence. Years ago I used this group the most but it seems outdated now. A fond farewell, indeed, to this HUGE chunk of our colors.

[MickeyRoberts]

Brilliant Blue and Glorious Green. They're my go-to colors for kids cards and the green at Christmas time. Bummer.

[genesis]

Wow. Again I am really not sad to see any of these go.
I feel like all of these colors have been around forever. Well all except Pixie Pink which was exchanged for Positively Pink a few years back. Now that is a color I miss.

[kandicejo]

I love the brights, so sad to see so many of them going.

Brilliant Blue - Being a KY Wildcat fan, there's no other royal blue colors like this. I even had a former demo schedule a workshop recently b/c she and her friends couldn't find brilliant blue anywhere else.

Pink Passion and Green Galore- the perfect pink and green combo out there! Very girly and trendy. Guess I'll have to switch to Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi. Just not the same though...

[cindycanada]

I have to admit that I don't think I'll really miss any of them, but if I was to pick a favorite, I would say Opulent Orchid. I'm not a purple fan, but I did like this shade of purple. Paired with Kraft, it looks really cool!


Kraft + Opulent Orchid + Whisper White

[Scrappin' Auntie]

The only colors I'm going to MISS are Pixie Pink and Green Galore. I occasionally use Pink Passion or Lovely Lilac, very rarely use the rest. Not quite sure I understand cutting Green Galore, Pixie Pink, Pink Passion....hot pink and lime green is still one of the hottest color combos. I like Melon Mambo, but it's almost too deep to qualify for "hot pink."

[rhondag]

My most missed will be Gable Green...Love it with Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo (now--no need to be sad over Pixie or Passion for me) for a Lilly Pulitzer sort of Palm Beach-y thing. I'll have an example for this color combo .

Here's a sample done with Kraft and Opulent Orchid:
