*I
apologize for lagging behind on my color matching. If there is a line
you are needing, please just send me an email and I will get it updated
shortly.*
New Colors: You will see some
colors listed below that are available already, but have not yet been
pictured for my color chart. (Tulip, Moss, Baby Pink, Burgundy, Lime,
Claret...)
For all Gymboree lovers out there, I have compiled suggestions for
FABULOUS coordinates to all those gymbo lines. This allows you great
flexibility to pick a style you like and the ribbon/flowers that will
match, giving you endless possibilities.
I have spent hours trying to give the best possible suggestions based
on what I see, but some (especially the older lines) were matched from
detailed pictures. Despite 100+ ribbon colors, sometimes Gymboree comes
out with tricky colors that don't have a perfect ribbon match and I
will not list a color for a specific piece. If you have any
suggestions, or if I've missed one feel free to email me! I am also
working on Janie and Jack, on a separate page. If you do not see the
line you are looking for, email me and I will work on it next, adding
it to this page.
*- denotes a color that is a little lighter, but still a good match *+ denotes a color that is a little darker, but still a good match *^ denotes a color that is not exact, but is good used in small quantities, as an accent color.
Satin
rosettes and roses are used on many of my styles, in your choice of 37
colors. Each Gymboree line includes a list of satin roses/rosettes
Satin Rosettes that are a good match/coordinating color. Flower clips
that use satin roses/rosettes are: Reagan, Hannah (above left), Lauren, Taylor, Velvet Julianne, and Velvet Hannah.

Holiday Classics: Ribbon: Cranberry, Black, Antique white, Velvet Black and Velvet Antique white. Satin Roses/Rosettes: Antique white, Black.

It is a perfect match, big, and the beading on it makes it dressy. Riley (antique white) is also beautiful as a flower. Isabella (cranberry or ivory). Mikah (black with antique white rosette). Sophia with cranberry ribbon and an antique white rosette is perfect! Mia in cranberry is a great little flower. Beautiful Luxe: Ribbons: Antique white, Antique white velvet Satin Roses/Rosettes: Antique white Favorites: Isabella (taupe) is a great match to the gold in this line. Mia (gold) is also a great match with just a little shimmer. Julia is also beautiful with these dresses (remember, the center will be swarovski crystals, not the yellow know in the picture.)

(It takes on the right colors when held up side by side.) Scaredy Cat Halloween: Ribbons:
Olive, Black, Burgundy, Antique White. The orange in this line is a bit
tricky, and is not a perfect orange to any of the ribbons. Satin Roses/Rosettes: Rust, Black, Antique White Equestrian Club: Ribbons: Wheat, Brown, White, Wildberry, Lt. Pink, Antique White, Leaf, Old Rose, Millenium Blue(-) Satin Roses/Rosettes: Antique White, Lt. Pink, Chocolate, Millenium Blue(-) Favorites: Julia (Antique White), Jamie (pink and Antique white).

Ribbons:
Amethyst, Olive(*+), Antique white. The lighter purple is not a perfect
match to any ribbon, but there are flowers to match beautifully. Satin Roses/Rosettes: Lt. Orchid, Antique White
Favorites:McKenna (Amethyst) looks like it was made to go with this line!!! Kennedy or Bella in Lt. Orchid are also wonderful matches.
(Kennedy on amethyst background with lt orchid flowers looks great.) Susannah was just added, and with both shades of these purples, it is an amazing match! It even has a little royal shimmer to it!
Special Occasion: Ribbons: White, Lt. Pink, Natural Satin Roses/Rosettes: White, Lt. Pink Favorites: The champagne dress in this line looks like it will match beautifully with Samantha in natural. For the other colors, Samantha in Lt. Pink, White, or Red are also gorgeous. Riley is also a dressy favorite of mine. Bon Voyage:
Satin Roses/Rosettes: White, Red, Lt. Navy Coral Reef:
Ribbon: Antique white, Coral, Lime, Papaya (madras pieces), Spring Moss, Old rose. Satin Roses/Rosettes: Antique White, Chartreuse
Favorites: Coral Rose Hydrangea Sparkle; Daisy Sparkle (Ginger Orange); Kaitlyn (leaf); Julia
flower clip with antique white flowers and a colored ribbon background
(great on a toddler or bigger clip, so the ribbon shows.) Cote D'Azure: Ribbon: White, Lt. Navy, Baby Pink, Clay Red, Maize Satin Roses/Rosettes: White, Lt. Navy, Maize, Blue Favorites:
Daisy Sparkle (White, Maize, Blue); Gina (Red with maize--the flower
red is a true red, but if the red is used in small quantities in the
outfit, it goes well.) Alexa Rose (Using any combination of White, Lt
Navy, Maize, Blue) Notes:
The red in this line is a little tricky, as it seems to have slight
orange undertones, making it a difficult exact match for most red
flowers. Candy Apple: Ribbon: Lime, Mint Ice, Claret, Sapphire, Old Rose, White, Sea Mist (matches the darker accents) Satin Roses/Rosettes: shocking pink, Lt pink, White Favorites: Julia (shocking); Kennedy (use chartreuse flower with a ribbon color from above).

Mixed Doubles: Ribbons: White, Lt blue, Coral Rose, Chartreuse (for the lighter brighter green). The green in this line is close to Creme de Menthe (not yet pictured). I would only recommend this as an accent color. Satin Rose/Rosettes:White Favorites: Daisy Sparkle (Apple). Coral Rose Hydrangea Sparkle. Island Getaway: Ribbons:
White, Chocolate, Clay Red, Blue, Torrid Orange, Wheat (for the pale
yellows), and Moss. The deeper yellow is tricky with no perfect match.
Wheat is my closest recommendation for the darker yellow, but it is a
lighter shade. Satin Rose/Rosettes: Millenium Blue, Chocolate. Favorites: Lt. Yellow Mum, Daisy Sparkle (Torrid Orange, Blue); Moss Hydrangea;Mia(Brown or Torrid Orange), Gina (Blue and Maize). Colorful Paradise: Ribbons:
White, Lime Juice, Dark Orchid, Wheat, Delphinium, Amethyst, *+Papaya

Sunflower Fields: White, Lime Juice, Creamsickle, Maize, Pink, Natural, Spring Moss. Yellow Gold also blends well, although it is not exact. My favorite picks: I LOVE "Bella or Kennedy" flower clippies using pink and creamsickle together. Great on lime juice ribbon. Love is in the Air:
White, *+Bluebird, Fantasy Rose, Seashell, Lt Pink, Lime Juice, Old
Rose, Millenium Blue and Coral Rose. Tons of colors in this line! (Many
blend together quite well, they are just varying shades.) My favorite picks: "Bella or Kennedy"
are perfect using any combination of "Pale Millenium Blue", "Olive",
and "Pink" flowers on your choice of ribbon background mentioned above.
The sheerness of these flowers help them take on the many colors of
this line beautifully. Fiesta Fiesta:Clay Red, Torrid orange, White, Mint Ice, Tulip My favorite picks: Mia in Tulip (perfect match to that pink), Mia in Torrid Orange, Hydrangea Daisy in Torrid Orange. Tea Garden: Tulip, White, Watermelon, *+Olive, Leaf, Seashell, (Apricot & Millenium blue are used in the multi-floral outfits). My favorite picks: Watermelon and white bow combinations. Multii floral outfits look great with a Kennedy flower clippie using watermelon ribbon with millenium blue and apricot flowers. Valentines Day: White, Red, Lt. Pink, Old Rose My favorite picks: Ally bow on any of the above ribbons, with white, red, and pink roses. "Hannah", "Reagan" and "Kennedy" clippies can also combine some or all of these colors. Barnyard Cuties: Fantasy Rose, White, Red, Seashell, Lt. Pink My top picks: Tons of great choices in these popular colors. "Hot pink" flowers also match really well with fantasy rose. Little Rome: Seashell, Blush (accents) Chocolate, Maize, Lt. Blue Lemon Tree: White, Lemon (coming soon), Leaf, Lime Juice Gymboree 2006 Wish You Were Here: White, Navy, Apple, Clay Red or Red, Blue, *-Wheat, Lime Juice My
top picks: Any clippies or bows using a combination of the above
ribbons and rose/rosettes colored: red, blue, white, maize and navy.
Although maize is not a perfect match, it looks fine as a small accent
flower. However, I would avoid using a maize colored flower with wheat
ribbon. Snow Blossom:
Brown, Tulip (coming soon, wild orchid a good choice until then),
Azalea, Creamsickle, Antique White, Papaya, Millenium Blue, Lime Juice,
Torrid Orange My top picks: Mia in Antique White, Millenium Blue, Chocolate. "Kennedy" in chocolate ribbon with millenium blue flowers. Park City Luxe: Antique White, Chocolate, Lt. Pink, *+Seamist (as accent), Rosewine, Mint Ice, Pink, Lime Juice
My top picks: "Julia" clippie one pink one antique white flower; Mia in
Antique White, Chocolate; "Sophia" bow in Lt. pink and chocolate; Other
satin roses and rosettes that match well: Antique white, Chocolate,
Pink, and Rosewine for use with bow/flower combos. Princess Snow Drop: Antique White, Fantasy Rose, Lt Pink, Navajo Turquoise, Mint Ice
My top picks: "Aqua" or "pink" satin roses or rosettes to use with
bow/flower combos and flower clippies such as Lauren, Hannah, Reagan,
Sophia. Ivory Hydrangea Sparkle. Antique white Morgan or Julia can be
combined with a different colored background on a toddler clip. Fairy Tale: Grey, Blush, Fantasy Rose, Blue, Lt. Orchid, Creamsickle, Antique White, Wild Berry. Peruvian Doll:
Torrid Orange, Wild Berry, French Pink, Hot Pink, Moss (coming soon),
Antique White, Rosewine, Cranberry, Spring Moss, Fantasy Rose.
My top picks: There are so many great clips to make with this line. I
LOVE the combination of Rosewine ribbon and either hot pink or torrid
orange. An Anne Marie bow looks great with rosewine, torrid and ivory
combined. The Julia flower clip has both an orange flower and cream
flower that complement this line very well. Daisy Sparkle in Orange is
perfect too. Kaitlyn in hot pink is a great match too. Autumn Highlands: Ribbon: Amethyst, Light Orchid, Wheat, Cranberry, Antique White, Olive, Lime Juice. Satin Roses/Rosettes: Antique White, Light Orchid Favorites: Kaitlyn
(amethyst) This is a wonderful match to the darker purple in this line!
It looks like it was made specifically for these outfits. Bella or Kennedy (light orchid); Mallory or Madeline (light orchid, antique white); Riley (antique white); Mia (antique white). Imaginary Friends: Antique White, Black, Lime Juice (not exact), Azalea, Torrid Orange, Pink, Hot Pink, *+Navajo Turquoise.
My top picks: Any clip or bow with several colors together looks great
with this colorful line. Satin flowers (roses or rosettes) in hot pink,
black, or antique white complement any of the above ribbons well. Cherry Pie: Antique White, Cranberry, Lt. Pink, Lt. Navy, Natural, Coral Rose.
My top picks: I have had a hard time finding flowers in the Cranberry
color (despite great searching.) Although it is not yet listed,
Isabella flower clippie comes in cranberry by request. The other
flowers tend to have more dark pink undertones, and I would not
recommend. For this line, your best bet is using a combination of
grosgrain ribbons, or flowers of the other colors in the line. Of
course, any flower in antique white/ivory can be used, and also light
pink. My Sophia bow with cranberry ribbon and an ivory rosette is
great. Ally is a fabulous bow with cranberry ribbon, and cream, navy,
and lt. pink rosettes. When flowers are placed on my Toddler Snappy
Clip, more of the ribbon shows, so this could be a good opportunity to
have a standard cream flower, but substitute a cranberry ribbon
background. Gymboree 2005 Bonjour Provence:
Millenium Blue, Bluebird, (The blue used appears to be between these
two blues mentioned.) I would lean towards Millenium Blue, although I
think both would blend well. Mint Ice, White, Wheat, Moss (coming
soon), Mystic Blue, Papaya. My top picks: "French Blue" rosettes
and roses blend perfectly with both bluebird and millenium blue. This
is great on the Sophia Bow, or Hannah, Lauren, and Reagan clippies.
Hydrangea Sparkle also comes in Millenium Blue and a recent customer
told me it is a perfect match (it is not yet pictured but is
available). Primrose Puppy: Coral or Coral Rose (in between these two), Currant, Baby Pink, Antique White, Chocolate, Moss, Lime Juice.
My top picks: Satin roses or rosettes in Lt. Pink, Chocolate, Antique
White, and Azalea all go well with this line. The Blush rose is a
little lighter than the Corals, but blends nicely too. Use these with
the above ribbon for the Sophia bow, Ally, Reagan, Hannah...Coral Rose
Hydrangea Sparkle is a great match.
I am in no way affiliated with Gymboree, I just like to help my customers who love their beautiful clothes!
