I think the colors are lovely, and if you're concerned that the gold won't be distinct enough against the whit, make the red your MC with the red and white, and play with reversing MC and CC to have 4 color combos.Kate (Hunter) Praterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777012861574765496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-47207126452372325102015-06-24T09:52:51.227-04:002015-06-24T09:52:51.227-04:00I see three distinct tones in your black/white ima...I see three distinct tones in your black/white image - the cream and the gold don't look that close to me at all. I see a distinct light, medium, and dark, so I think these are okay.<br /><br />To be honest, though, I think the whole "black/white image" trick is not a very helpful trick - if you like the colors together, then they go together. I go completely with my gut when I do colorwork, and it has never failed me yet. I did a Color Craving shawl by Stephen West in three shades that were all tonally the same (so they were all dark in my black/white image test) and the colors still stand out and individuate because they are so different in hue that they are still distinct. So I guess my problem with the black/white image test is that it only gives you information on tone, and hue and intensity are also just as important when deciding if your colorwork is going to work.Shannahttp://www.shannamakes.comnoreply@blogger.com
