Back in the Eighties,
the bright pure, flat colors of the Seventies took a right turn, and color richer, more mysterious, more jewel-toned. Everything got blued down a notch: teal or indigo instead of blue; rose instead of red; chartreuse instead of yellow, hunter's green or jade instead of green. After awhile, everyone got sick of it, and for awhile----a while I personally loathed---everything had to be in shades of beige, ugh ugh ugh. (I loathe minimalism). Back in the day, I furnished a whole house in shades of rose, dark teal, and hunter's green, and I was sick of it too. But this image reminded me of how beautiful they can be.
A metallic frame in rose colored "brushed satin" frames an image made from (obviously) intensely embroidered fabric. In the center (tilting away from the viewer) is a circle enclosing a teal colored star on a background of rose-tinted platinum. It's surrounded by concentric circles in a deep rose color, one in a sort of deco series of platinum squares. Surrounding that is a maze of velvety-looking teal alternating with metallic rose-tinted platinum. The outer rim dark rose with the rose-platinum squares. It's rich and mysterious.
