How about “Summer in Jamica”? It seems to me to fit the color perfectly!
Vieux carre – lovely color!
Sunset dream
fleur de lys
Reminds me of my favorite colors at a French Chateaux. My entry is Maison The’
Autumn blues
It reminds me of Egyptian treasures! All that gold and lapis. How about Pharaoh’s Treasure?
It also makes me think of King Ludwig. I’ll also offer Heilbrunn – as in the Schloss Heilbrunn that had a lovely tea room/gazebo inspired by the moorish architecture.
What a lovely colorway! I’d call it TricoThé.
I think of blueberry pumpkin pie when I look at that swatch.
Since the colours remind me of several of her prints, my suggestion is “Cassatt” (after Mary Cassatt). It seems a propos all around…she was an American artist living & working in Paris and her work celebrated the every day lives of women (much like fibre arts).

Fleur de thé
Ocean Sunrise!
Early Sunrise as in Palo Duro Canyon.
Sunset in Rio

Canyon Sunrise. Regardless of which canyon, it is a great name.

It has all the colors of the Oolong Jardin de Luxemborg tea. It also looks like the pictures of your yummy blueberry coffee cake. When I get my dream trip to Paris, I will definitely be stopping by!
La Fontaine de Medicis, or Medici Fountain.
This is the name of a fountain in the Jardin du Luxembourg, in Paris.
Breathe of Sprig

How about le Thé d’Aimee Douillet (Aimee’s Tea Cozy) or Citron d’Airelle (Blueberry Lemon)?

Sassy Sunset.
Serengeti Moon is my husband’s pic.
Mine would be Magic Bus!
jardin creole – this makes me think of black eyed susans and bachelor button over taking a field.
