A confession ... I'm not very good with color. I'm a "plain jane" knitter. If it's not a single color, I tend to choose 3 shades of blue to be safe.
With that being said, our most recent pillow project (Make it Your Way Diagonal Pillow) cried for some color. I went to my stash and found a few cones of Yeoman Tibet. But what colors worked?
Many years ago, at a seminar, I remember the demonstrator (I think it was Michael Becker) suggested the following method to choose colors.
Random 4 row stripes .... so many possibilities!

 | Yeoman Tibet - 3 ply - Wool, Silk and Nylon |
| Playing it safe .... BORING! |  |
 | Add the rust color .... getting interesting.... |
| Oops ... the lilac just doesn't do it! |  |
 | Hmmmm .... looking good! |
