I recently paid a visit to the website for Mindy's Needlepoint and noticed something pretty durn interesting. Mindy is playing with color.

Check these out:
Clockwise from the upper left they are Asians in Golds and Olives, Asians in Blues, Asians in Greens, and Asians in Mauves and Purples.
I am a fan of Asian-themed designs in general, but what intrigued me here is that the change of color really changes what I see in the piece. Mauves and Purples shows up the three rectangles with buttons better, while Greens seems to have the backgrounds more visible. I think Golds and Olives is the most balanced of the designs although I don't usually like those colors. Funny what color does to a design?
Which do you like best? Is that your favorite color normally? I am of course waiting for an Asians Pink—my favorite color!
Very clever, Mindy. Now I want them all. Sigh.
