Pinks, taupes, creams, all work with burgundy. It will depend how feminine or gender neutral you want the outcome to be.

Here are a couple of sites that help with color:

http://www.quiltopia.com/colorwheel.html

IMHO you can use blues, greens, pinks, neutrals.

I think burgundy goes great with shades of pink, browns and tans.

I think different shades of burdandy along with browns, reds and certain greens... Think of woodsy colors. The kind of colors you would see in a cabin in the woods. You could off-set the darker colors with cream, or shades of tan.

I personally love either bold colors or more manly colors. I am not big on girly colors. I wish i was there to help you with the colors.

According to my Stampin Up color wheel Apricot, moss & artichoke play nicely together.
