Historical Sampler – What do you think of the Blue?

blue

The bird above will have the Indigo and Russet Red from slowCOLOUR and the little blossoms just above the curve will be in pinks. The indigo will help "balance" the blue - but I'm still not sure about it.

What say you?

Well, I love the blue you've already used. Have no idea how the indigo will look. Sounds good to me

It is hard to be sure, but I should think it would balance out. That blue bit is very pretty.

Hi, Megan!

The blue is pretty, but is sure stands out. I think I'd go with a more neutral color (such as the fawn you suggested). The indigo in the bird will be a focus point, but, because it's in a different motif, I don't think it will necessarily need balancing from the surrounding foliage. The blue just seems somewhat too-blue for a leaf or blossom, when compared to the elements around it.

But that's just my opinion!

You could leave it until you've done the bird, and then decide if you like it. Either way, if you take it out now or after the bird, you're still taking it out. You may as well wait to see it in context with the bird.

Nah...I know it's not right. That's why I'm asking about it.

The sucker dies now.

I'd have to agree with Mary and go with a more nutreal color.
