Paua

A combination of green and pinks - colours that can be found in the paua shell. The patches are very distinctively mottled. Paua (pronounced pa-wa) is a species of abalone native to New Zealand, and considered a delicacy by foodies. 

DMC approximations are 954 with 151 on linen and 955 with 3689 on evenweave. 

This colour works well on all available fabrics, with linen giving the brightest results. Lugana, other evenweaves and Aida give paler (more muted) results.
