Remember when I found this blog (below) and got all excited? I thought the images, each with its own colors pulled out and displayed in stripes below the image, would help me pick colors. I am no good at picking colors but I thought if I picked out a photo I liked and then pulled the colors, I might learn something.
The local crafts emporium is having a sale so yesterday I choose the photo I liked best (March 13th's little smiling sun with trees and birds appealed to me a lot), then headed over and picked up six DMC flosses in those colors. My purchases are in the photo above. There are three somewhat related greens, a chocolate brown, a rose pink and a blue-teal.
Tonight I'm going to pick some stitches from ANG's Stitch of the Month page and see how they look in these colors.
I'll try using the pink as the focal point, see how the various greens look with chocolate brown and blue, etc. It's an easy way to see how three shades and three accent colors interact. Stay tuned. I'll post my results tomorrow.
