Earlier in this thread, Steph said " I have absolutely no sense of what colors don't go together! ", and there have been other comments about colors, and how to choose them. I will pass on a tip my granny gave me, and that has always served me well. She told me to look at a rainbow, and always chose colors to match that are adjacent in the rainbow. The rainbow color sequence is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. ( Richard Of York Gained Battles In Vain!) . So red will go with orange, yellow with green, green with blue, blue with indigo, and indigo with violet. On the other hand, be wary of non-adjacent rainbow color matches, such as red with green, or orange with blue. This is obviously not a hard and fast rule, but it has served me well as a basic guide. I pass on this bit of folklore for those who are interested. Nick.
