Here is Opal Yellow, Bubblegum Pink, Opaque Violet, and Cherry Shake. Opal Yellow and Bubblegum pink do a good job of highlighting most of the colors. The purples disappear a bit on Opaque Violet because the purple is a similar color.

When the frit is encased within clear you end up with a very beautiful blue with hints of dark blue and turquoise. The bead has nice variations and the swirls are easy to achieve with little frit. These were made with Double Helix Zephyr clear.

You can't go amiss with this blend. While it particularly shines over cooler colors, I was pleasantly surprised by how the brown beads enhanced the vibrancy of the purple. In any case, give this color a try if you're curious!
