How to use DMC 02 in patterns
Tin sits in the Whites & Neutrals family and works as a background, highlight, and contrast color. It is a natural fit for highlights, snow, fabric-like negative space, outlines, and soft skin tones, and for light areas in portraits, pets, flowers, and house patterns.
- Pairs well with black, grays, muted browns.
- Pattern ideas: monochrome charts, winter designs, portrait highlights.
- Also useful for palette balancing when stronger colors need room to breathe.
