Being what I call hypersensitive to color, and having three children who share this trait to varying degrees, I am always thinking about color schemes. But all too often it can be hard to put together a scheme which is pleasing and fun for needlework, especially if you don’t know where to begin.

The main color forms the majority of space in the design, the secondary color support it and the accent color gives it sparkle and life. In many things there is also a background color which supports and harmonizes with all the other colors.
