Something about that contrast just appeals to me.

I think I like the way lighter colors allow the depth of the fiber to come through. My boyfriend is still always confused when I bring home a pink or “girly” colored yarn, since most of my clothes are green/brown/black.

I don’t really care for pink, .but I do like the different shades of pink. The first time I went to my LYS I picked out a yarn that had different shades of pink in it, some shades of red, almost melon like. When I showed the yarn to a co-worker, she was very surprised that I picked such a bright yarn. I usually wear dark colors, mostly black, but I fond that when I knit, the yarns I pick are usually very colorful.

My feeling about color is it is a mood thing. I have a passion for knitting, creating and it makes me happy; happiness is usually associated with bright colors. So, for me, it is a definite mood thang.

Thank you for prompting that thought Cosy!
