Pantone Fall 2014 Fashion Colors Sangria and Aurora Red

There are two shades of red included in the Pantone fall colors this year.  Aurora Red is an orange-tone where Sangria is a blue-tone that I would consider to be more a shade of burgandy than a red.  I've been playing around with both of these reds to see what other colors they combine well with.

Aurora Red with Bright Cobalt
Aurora Red with Cypress
Aurora Red with Misted Yellow
