Bifur- Limoncello, a bright green-yellow
Bombur - light mossy green
(left-right) Bofur- brassy dark goldenrod
Gloin- burnt orange
Oin- chocolate red velvet
(left-right)Balin- classic cherry red
Nori- light cornflower blue
(left-right)Ori- cantaloupe with citrus
Dwalin- deep pink with independent stone splash
