Usually, I come up with a color scheme for a post and then work it into the costumes. There’s almost always something with a pattern which I can use multiple colors in. Addison (one of the Pixie paper dolls) and Marisole: Wings & Petals are both good examples of this principle at work. However, since there wasn’t any pattern on today’s Marisole and no ways I could imagine incorporating a coherent color scheme, I just sort of picked colors that reminded me of winter and went with them.
Winter always makes me happy, because I means I can break out my gray clothing and not feel guilty about it. Of all the neutral colors in the world, gray is my favorite. It has all the features I like about black, but it’s not black. It’s like a delightful lighter better black (which I rather suppose is the definition of gray).
Update 8/11/2014: This paper doll is now available in black and white for coloring. You can find her here.

I want all of those. Only the purple in more royal purple. A girl can never have too many cute sweaters for winter. I know I have too few.
I feel the same about grey. It’s a lovely colour (or would it be a shade..?).
