Afghan Shades - Color Selection

[joyousday]

I am trying to decide on these 2 color palettes. If anyone has any suggestions on either one.
I love the blues
but then I love the warmer colors as well.








Wow this is a tough decision

I like the warmer colors...

I chose the following colors, but now I think it may be too dark.... hmm what to do...
Antique, gypsy gold, cadet, stone brown, tibetan red (I couldn't figure out how to get a copy of the palette posted)

Ok. So now I am freaking out. I am seeing pics of these yarns on different web sites and the Turtle Green looks way brighter than it looks on this site. Also the Irish Moss and the Willow look even more similar that I thought.
I regret not looking at other sites sooner. Now I can only wait for it all to arrive and hope this site has its pics as true to life as possible.

Hi. I'm so excited. Can't wait to start. I'm doing both afghans.
KAL: Sundrift, Tibetan Red, Turtle Green, Stone Brown,Irish Moss
CAL: Bitter Rose, Princess, Willow, Gypsy Gold, Stone Brown

I love your choices for the KAL, and am interested in seeing how the CAL colors will look in that blanket.
Isn't it fun choosing colors for the blankets?

Here you go. I think they look lovely together! They all came from the Town & Country palette, and will make a warm, rich looking blanket.

Online photos are sometimes very deceiving. Different cameras and lighting conditions really affect how the images display online. I was very pleased when I received my yarn. It looks exactly like the colors I chose on the Bernat site.

I felt that way when I received my yarn. The Colonial Beige was different than I thought, and I started questioning it and then my other colors. There are so many choices! It is so hard and I second guess myself when it comes to these types of things. It may look a bit different but I bet it will be beautiful!
