Invitation colors

My college friend Cheps of DIY Pinay is doing the design of our wedding invitation. We haven't sat down and discussed about it so we've been exchanging e-mails in lieu of a face-to-face meeting. But we'll definitely meet for sure.

Colors. I told her that I liked pink and brown. I never realized that I should be more specific. I know that there are different shades of a color but I was amazed how one color could have it own family of colors.

I checked out Answers.com for a list of colors and their pantone. There's Light Pink, Salmon Pink, Amaranth (first time I ever heard) and even Hot Pink and Shocking Pink. I gave Cheps the list of shades of pink and brown that I like from the myriads of pinks and browns available in the palette. I told her to be in-charge of what specific colors to use, the important thing for me is that they should be pink and brown. I'll not be OC about their shades. :)
