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.

Value

I love the peal gray with the purples that you have in the first picture on the left.

first one showing on far right or last one showing on far right also. both are lovely.

I like the pearl gray in the first one. I agree with others, the two on the right probably won't have enough contrast.

Here are your photos as if you’re looking through the red lens spoken of above.

Lisa, I like the second to left- black.
I bought that pattern too. Going to start it after the upcoming holidays. Too much going on right now for me.

I liked the second one too,best. Is this the pattern from Bonnie at Quiltville? Wow! 😳 That is a lot of cutting (my least favorite) and seams!!!

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.

I don't think BH has any patterns w/o a zillion pieces https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png
