It can be very hard to pick just the right colors for your stitching. Us painted canvas folks have colors chosen for us but sometimes I still have trouble finding shades that work well together. I thought you'd like to see what Trish Burr says about colors from the perspective of someone who specializes in the realistic embroidery called needle painting.

This isn't going to work for you if you need contrasting colors so that one pops off the background of another, but the bulk of what Trish stitches is realistic so she needs colors to meld with each other.
