Help with colors
Once again I am struggling with colors! I am picking fabrics for On Ringo Lake I am opting for scrappy for at least half of the fabrics. I chose Gold, Plum for the main colors, I am stuck on the accent color. I am leaning towards the brown, which is the original color in the pattern, but I am certainly open to suggestions! I am still undecided on the background but that is easier to resolve!

Definitely not the far right - too close in value to most of the purples and all the golds.
You might want to view using one of the red value preview things (the red plastic you look through) or convert the photos to B&W and see which looks most interesting.

Based on this and looking at where the accent is used in the pattern (to help define it), I would go with the black in the second photo. If OP is leaning towards brown, I would recommend a darker one than in photo 3.
