I thought I would do a formal introduction of the April colors today! I present Summer Sunrise & Lemon Tart!
Summer Sunrise is a golden yellow-orange color. It has just a few undertones of tangerine to it too. I love the way it can be paired with many of our other colors and take on different looks. For example, when combined with lemon tart it has a softer appearance. But when used with Aqua Mist it become much more prominent & bright.
Lemon Tart is a beautiful soft buttercream yellow. I have been wanting a yellow like this for a long time. It is a little more "yellow" than a lot of the pastel yellows out there. This color in Palette ink is vibrant enough that you could even use it for a sentiment.
Here is a comparison chart to SU! colors. (you can click on it to enlarge.) Papertrey’s Summer Sunrise falls right in between Summer Sun & Marigold Morning. Summer Sunrise is a lot more orange than Summer Sun, but not as deep in color as Marigold Morning. (Although it was difficult to capture the differences here.) Papertrey’s Lemon Tart has a lot more yellow in it than Barely Banana, but obviously isn’t nearly as bright as Yoyo Yellow.
I love both of these new colors and I know you will too!
Joan B says
ooh, these are both delicious. I particularly LOVE the Lemon.
emily says
I just love these Nichole. Thanks for the explanation!
Chris (cdjkssss) says
Just perfect! I really missed Marigold Morning when it retired, and I use Summer Sun a lot for things like flower centers. Summer Sunrise will fill a gap that I didn’t even know I had. And Lemon Tart is just what we needed between Barely Banana and Yoyo Yellow as well. Thanks for figuring out these things for us!
Granna on the Go says
Love the soft yellow….I have been wanting a soft, bright yellow. I like Barely Banana but it is often to soft for a project. I love the Summer Sunrise because it will take on different looks when paired with certain colors. Thanks for the gel card project template.
Karen says

These are so pretty! I’m not a yellow fan, but these shades are georgous!
Marsha says
Love the new color combo…..reminds me of a sunny summer day. Can’t wait to see the patterned paper that coordinates with the new colors. And let us not forget the beautiful array of ribbons that help to bring everything together to make a lovely coordinated project. Looking forward to April 15th with anticipation for all of the new releases.

jeanne nielsen says
I think that the Lemon Tart color is probably my all-time favorite color — I always thought that Barely Banana was as close as I was going to come, but apparently I was wrong. I’m very excited to see it in the ribbon! Jeanne

Angi says
Oh my! I love the new colors, Nicole! These are two of my favorites. Love the buttery richness of the Lemon Tart. In fact that’s very close to the color that I painted my stamp room. Ahhh, I love it.
sue snyder says

Clara Rubalcaba says
I am loving these colors! I can’t wait to add them to my growing Papertrey color collection!
