i'm sorry, i'm really trying to influence you but not to what i like....what i think you saw when you chose your samples.... that green .... is the lifeblood of that group.... it is what makes all the blues so vibrant....with a light and a dark you are gonna love it... and i think your idea of to do something 'smashing' with it is just right...an occasional 'shadow' under one or two blades in the plate, or a tiny appliqued leaf or flower in the corner or the block or on the plate...or a tiny zinger flange border between all your blocks and their border... and if you don't like the neutral for the background of the plates, how about using the dark blue on blue for the backgrounds? all your mediums will then be 'lights' unless you add a little white here and there... remember, value is all relative...
