I am so late here but I just want to say: 1). What a fun and ambitious project, and 2). this was such a fun thread!! -- I loved seeing all the test versions! -- and 3). TEAL, followed by Aquamarine. I like the blue, too, but it won't work as well in your closet. Good luck!

I echo Suz - teal & aquamarine would work best for your wardrobe.

I've been burned many times by that sort of blue as a Deep Autumn - it's why jeans are such a tricky buy (they have to be exactly the right sort of dark enough wash in order to be flattering)

Okay, I just realized something, and I apologize that this is very late in the conversation...

I think I assumed everybody knew this, because I’ve mentioned it in dyeing conversations in the past. You can actually custom-blend colors, and they are pretty accurate. I’ll take a photo of a Theory blouse that I dyed a custom peachy-pink several years ago, that is still holding its color well. I set it with salt and white vinegar.

Thanks Mary Beth. I have tried some of those RIT custom blends. They are really helpful. I think the problem here is that I have a non-neutral background and have to factor in the effect of the dye on the print colours. So the swatches are the best way of testing the result. I may end up doing a blend. No more swatches left however!

Thanks again everyone for the input. I plan to get this done next week. Fingers crossed!

Looking forward to the next installment of Brooklyn’s Dyeing Adventures

Teal!!

You’re making us wait until next week?! Anticipation!

ROSE QUARTZ!

Wow, what a fun read! I loved seeing your samples and all the thoughts about colors. I'm late to contribute, but I like the aquamarine best, and it's partly because of the eggplant color it adds into the look, which I can envision you wearing so well. I agree with others who say you really can't go wrong with any of them, though.
