I did one that had 5 stripes: dark green, medium to light green, a contrast, medium to light, and dk green going in one direction adn purples going in the other direction with the same contrast. the intensities of the purple and green were matched. It was gorgeous and I almost did not give it away (christmas). also do not have pics. If you can match the intensity of colors for the dark and medium to light, they will literally glow. i think it had something to do with their sites on the color wheel.
