How to use DMC 893 in patterns
Light Carnation sits in the Pinks family and works as a soft floral and skin-detail color. It is a natural fit for flowers, blush, baby patterns, romantic motifs, and gentle highlights, and for lighter detail in portraits, pets, and gifts.
- Pairs well with cream neutrals, muted greens, soft browns.
- Pattern ideas: baby samplers, floral patterns, wedding gifts.
- Also useful for soft accents when red would feel too strong.
