A lovely lady asked me to help her select yarn colors that go with this wallpaper in her nursery. Since I knew she was making an afghan to go in this room, I recommended that she use very little of the parchment in the blanket and more of the blues, oranges, and browns. Since the walls were mostly parchment-colored, it's better to have it only as an accent in the finished project. This is a split complementary color scheme, as the turquoise is directly across the color wheel from these blues and oranges. This photo was found online from Pantone. I really liked how the grey background contrasted with the colors. The pink, blue, and yellow are triad colors, meaning they are spread evenly around the color wheel. It's accented by soft neutrals to let the colors shine. To get this same fell of this photo, I'd recommend alternating one of the first eight colors with the greys. To get this ombre effect, use the pinks and greys first, followed by blue and grey, then yellow and grey, then tan and grey. |
