Do you like the color combination on his striped scarf? I do! This is not a color combination I would have thought to put together just looking through my embroidery floss collection. I had started with black floss for his top hat and I love the color combination of black and acid green so I put those together. Then I wanted some colors that went with the green. The acid green floss nicely matches the "yellow-green" color group on my color wheel. The complementary color group for the yellow greens is the "red-violet" group:
I had several beautiful floss colors that matched the colors in the red-violet group so I made this combination. I especially like the way it looks on the scarf fringe.
Here are the colors I used, with their floss numbers:

Kim -- this is darling! Is this from the color palette challenge? The colors are so similar! :)

Kim! I've just discovered your embroideries and love them! Do you happen to have any that are in the free printables format? I'd love to try one. Thank you!
I never saw a color wheel!
I didn't know that there was such a thing! How do you discover yours???
