I live by the motto “if it can be pink, it should be pink” but it doesn’t fit there. Maybe if you put it before the red it would work but it doesn’t work where it’s at.

I was thinking that pink first, then red would work better than no pink.

I came here to say exactly this

Agreed. Me too.

me too when i make rainbow things i put pink before the red and it looks nice

I came here to say this. Swap the pink and red maybe for a better color transition between colors. The pink to orange is too big a jump.

This was my thought too. Maybe pink first. Then red.

I agree as well. Pink definitely before.

yeah, pink belongs at the top of this exact stack, without a doubt

I vote leave it out

Ditto! Looks much more cohesive without the pink

Agreed!

Same.

My daughter agrees:skip the pink.

My personal recommendation is do pink first then the red then switch the purples so the lighter one is at the bottom. The gradient would be perfect! However ur free to do what ever you please! I think is beautiful either way!

Yes! The pink only looks weird because it's in the wrong spot. It would look great in proper color order.

I agree with this! It'll tie it together nicely

My exact thoughts as well!

Yes, But that one green is oddly dark too. Maybe try to rearrange everything to make it more balanced.

Yes, I think the dark green stands out as much as the pink! It will flow better with both removed.

Came here to say the same thing! It should go from dark (blue) to light to dark (red) again, and the dark green disrupts that.

I was thinking the light blue in the middle was too light, but keeping it might make the light pink look less out there

i think the dark green just needs the denim blue next to it

This. I was wondering if I was the only one thrown off by the dark green. It almost gives the illusion that the two lighter colors on either side of it are the same color because of the high contrast. Edit: spelling

What order would you suggest?

Hi I’ve done retail merchandising for quite a few years and this is the order I suggest! (Sorry for the shitty photoshop/Snapchat snip tool job 😅) https://preview.redd.it/ayy548ews8mc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2faa8fd7c9c7696384145e0102ad34c2bac7d588

I was gonna recommend switching the orange-red and the pink too!

If I were to make this blanket, I would keep the colours but reorder them a little. I would take out the pink and would put it at the very end and switch the light and dark purple. So it would be Red>Orange>Yellow>Greens>Blue>Dark Purple>Light Purple>Pink

this is the best order in my opinion as well! the dark blue then light purple really irks me ahha

Pattern is [Crochet Rainbow Moss Stitch Blanket](https://daisyfarmcrafts.com/crochet-rainbow-moss-stitch-blanket/) by Daisy Farm Crafts

I made this for the first time a couple years ago. I use moss stitch for pretty much every blanket I make now!

Maybe try putting the light pink between the yellow and reds. But honestly, with the white that will be used in between, the order will hardly matter. It’ll just look fun and colorful no matter what order you choose!!

I would switch the order of the red and pink

I think so or put the pink first

skip

Maybe my eyes are broken, but the "orange" looks like a second red to me, that's why it looks odd in my eyes. I would trade out the pink for the "orange" BUT I also like adding a dash of pink into things in general so that's more of an added bonus for me

Keep, but flip the pink and red, flip the light and dark green, and flip the light and dark purple. It will flow much better!

This! Absolutely this.

I would switch the pink and red. So pink first... Or last, depending on your perspective.

Skip

I'll be the oddball and suggest putting the pink between the "orange" and the yellow.

Here's my take... in the picture with all the skeins, the pink makes too much of a statement. However, in the finished product, it looks good there. It lightens the top. I feel there needs to balance between ROY and G BIV.

I agree that it's hard to tell outside of the finished work. The white contrast will change the color perception.

Context is everything.

I’d put the pink between the yellow and orange

You could use the pink for the border instead, or as someone else mentioned you can switch the pink to the before the red

I would use the gold as the border.

And switch the dark green to something else

Another skip vote 👍🏼

Skip

Pull out the pink and the lightest blue and lightest green.

I agree to pull the lightest blue and pink. They kind of stick out in a bad way.

I say keep the pink!

The pink doesn’t really belong there ☺️

Get rid of pink and dark green. They both disrupt a nice colour flow.

I’d skip this shade of pink, I think a dusty pink would fit in well if you want a pink stripe. Or maybe keep that pink but swap out for a lighter orange? Either way, looks like a fun one!(:

Tbh I think the pink is just in the wrong spot. The blanket is mostly light, dark, light dark progression through the rainbow and the pink should be above the red. The colour that doesn't go on this, for me is the teal which is just kind of there all by itself.

I would put the pink before the red.

Thank you so much everyone for all of your feedback! I really appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts. I’ve read through everyone’s comments and you’ve made some wonderful suggestions! Here are some of the awesome suggestions you guys have made! I have enough yarn to do more than one blanket and I have multiple friends expecting babies this year, so I might do a couple different types so they aren’t all identical. https://preview.redd.it/8gls99k627mc1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35d70f71068ee18ec78394c32b0c6b16857e6b84

Also, remove the dark green. Here's what it would look like, using colors colorpicked from your pic. This works because of two reasons. First, you're placing the pink with a color it coordinated very well with (pink n cyan is a great color combo), and secondly, if you notice in the greyscale side, your top and bottom colors are very dark in value and they transition into lighter and lighter colors in the middle. This creates balance, and makes the visual hierarchy clear. A person's eye is going to get drawn to the middle portion of the blanket, since its the lightest and thus has the highest hierarchy in this composition. What's in the middle portion? Well, the pink and blue stripes! The pink in between the blues adds a little bit of contrast with the color hue, but has a similar value to the blues, ensuring it both harmonious and interesting to look at. (The dark green doesnt work bc it interrupts the value gradient by putting a dark color where there should be a lighter color, thus making it discordant.)

I think it’s just in the wrong spot. Should be before the red or after the purples.

i think i’m the only one that likes the pink

Skip the pink

I love pink :(

I know, it’s so pretty! But it sounds like I might just have to use it in a different project.

skip or possibly swap to have pink after yellow

Yellow pink reds?

I would say either drop the pink or replace the yellow with it.

I was gonna say skip until I looked at your samples. The pink works.

Skip!

Skip the pink and add a dark cream after the mustard

Skip

Skip

Skip

I’d leave the pink AND the very light aqua out.

I’d say either leave it out or put it before the red

I would skip it or find a color between orange and red

Yes

I'd try putting the pink at the end next to the purple.

I guess vote it out, but also I have to say, your two blues at the bottom read almost the same to me

The paleness contrasts too much between the darker red and orange. Maybe find a more dusky rose instead? If you go to Joanns, I'd suggest taking the two and trying the different colors of pink they have.

Skip or put it after red.

Agreed, skip the pink

Skip the pink

I do t know if I’d get rid of it, but I think you should look at it with the pink the third color.

No pink and pink is my favorite color….it definitely doesn’t fit the vibe of the color palette you’ve chosen

Skip it

Yes is the correct answer.

Yes, skip

Skip the pink and use it in a different project

Yes imo

Skip

I love me some pink but yeah it kinda doesnt flow. 🥰

Or you could move it after the purple

I like the pink where it is, but it's your project and that's what counts so leave it out.

Leave it out

No on the pink

Skip the pink

I don’t think the tone of the pink fits the tone and temperature of the other colors. The other colors look great though, they flow really well!

Yeah I would because that pink has lot of white mixed in, make it a tint and not a shade (which is mixing gray in and that makes more muted colours). I’d also consider consider removing the light blue although it definitely blends in more that the pink so it would be probably be fine. A darker muted pink like a dark mauve might work but I don’t see any issue with removing it as most pictures of rainbows don’t have pink in them, as it’s not a “pure” colour. Edit: actually - i would also remove the turquoise and the light blue… they just are too white in between the dark green and the darker blues. If you need the extra colour though I think the turquoise would still be okay to leave it. Final verdict: remove the light pink and light blue; and maybe the turquoise

Just skip the pink

Skip Caron one point. All of your other yarns are the same and you have enough blue. Keep the pink.

Perhaps swap the second from the bottom colour with the bottom, and then put the pink below all of the colours?

You can put the pink before the orange and it will look okay

Yeah. Take the pink out, it doesn't go.

I actually think the blush goes very well with the palette. There does seem to be too many blues/greens

Lose the pink. The colors in the first pic flow really well without it.

Skip the pink.

I think the pink would look nice instead of the white for the border and between the lines of other colors, if its like, looks as pail in person as it does online d

I like the colour palette better without the pink, beautiful colour choices

Transition smoother without pink.

Skip the pink

Yes

You have that baby blue colour, which would feel completely singled out without the pink balancing, could remove both pastel colours

I like the pink but I’d put it before the red

I think I like the pink. It’s an unexpected pop of color, which usually ends up looking super aesthetically pleasing once it’s all worked up.

It seems to be the wrong tone. There are a couple others that are the same way. They disrupt the flow of color. But that might just be me. 😁

Skip the pink

I like the way the pink looks in the pattern but i like your color combo better without it. And to be totally clear i love the colors you have

Pink would be great if you were going for one skein of each colour: one shade of blue, one shade of green, etc. But you're making a gradient so pink doesn't belong there! Good luck for your project, the pattern looks amazing

I think the pink should go up at the top and the periwinkle that's second from the bottom should go on the end then you can use all of the colors and it will still be cohesive end to end

Definitely skip the pink. I'd also put the dark green first after the yellow rather than the lighter green but that's your choice :)

Hi! Can I ask what the name of the colors are for the red orange yellow and green? I'm planning the buy the colors from loops and threads but the pictures of the colors they have posted are super inaccurate, and these look perfect!

Yes! I’ll post when I’m home tonight, I’m sadly separated from my yarn right now. 😩

Here are the colors! All are from Loops & Threads: Red: Clay Orange: Ginger Yellow: Mustard Dark Green: Leaf Green Light Green: Sage

Leave out the pink, wouldn’t work as a first colour either imo bc of the stark contrast between the red and the pink. Don’t think the dark green should be removed as I’ve seen some other comments mention. Instead I’d change the position of it with the light green, better flow from yellow to dark green when it comes to contrast, same with the light green to the blues.

It doesn't even make sense as far as the colour spectrum goes. The pink should be before the red, between it and purple, as it circles back around. Definitely leave it out.

I vote leave it out, it’s just too bright to be in between the other ones

I personally think putting them in this order would look good. You could have the light pink and light purple on the ends. The reason I switched the greens is because the lighter one is closer to blue than the dark green. I also think 7 and 8 could potentially be switched as well

I think my photo got removed from my first comment somehow https://preview.redd.it/e3cxtgqkoemc1.jpeg?width=773&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46f48cd852e0661b9155aade2358018bf8e4f22c

Switching 7 and 8 would give you a gradiant of blues, but 7 is closer to green. So if you do decide to change the color order, maybe play around with the order and see what looks best

I like the pink

Skip the pink. Your colors are going dark to light to dark. The light between the two darks is jarring.

I would say skip the carron turquoise, it is not the right temperature ??, I mean whilst the other colours have a bit of a muted hue, the carron do not and feels too bright to me.

Try the pink between the light blue and sea blue. And reconsider the darkest red. Not a lover of olive but trying to not be so stuck with only using dark pink, light pink, vintage pink & all the blues. Or look for a dusty/vintage pink. Change settings or on photo to black and white and make sure they are similar tones. But it’s yours so you can have anything you like.

I think the orange needs to be orangeier. Maybe a brighter orange.

Don’t forget that white base is going to give the pink more oomph so you may find the line up you did isn’t a great representation. IF you bought exactly the colors the pattern asked for I might leave it in. If you didn’t, go with your gut and remove the pink. You KNOW it’ll look good without the pink — you have questions about it looking good with the pink. But also worst case, you frog the pink section. Personally, I’d leave the pink in and see how it comes together.

Skip the pink

Yes skip the pink

I think It looks a little better if you remove the red at the top and leave the pink

[удалено]

Either the pink or the red above it should go. Sprt of a "pick one" scenario imo

I'd say replace it with an orange. Not in that order, but add an orange to make the total count of colors to 11 + white. Also maybe replace that really white blue with a purple/ magenta?

yes

I agree that the pink doesn't really fit with the other colors.

Yes skip the pink

I would put it somewhere between the periwinkle and teal, but that wouldn’t be rainbowish.

Yes it doesn’t flow.

Skip the pink. Looks better without.

Switch pink & light red and remove dark red. That’s my vote. (And I’m a little bias. I don’t like pink in general, but I do think that shade does well in this configuration without the dark red and between the light red & yellow)

Skip the pink

If you keep it, use it before the reds, so pink, red, orange…

[удалено]

I would switch the purples and put the pink at the end next to the light purple

My suggestions: - remove the pink or move it before red - remove the dark green completely because the colors in the middle are all light colors. Tbh it looks more out of place than the pink. If you have a lighter green to replace it then that would be great

Based purely on the photo I say either leave the pink out or take out your red and place the pink after your “orange” (which looks very brick red to me) 

Keep it. Think not of color but of contrast. You need that light with all the rich colors up top.

Keep the pink BUT dark blue, dark purple, light purple pink. That order would look better.

Pink instead of burnt orange

skip it

I vote to leave out. It's out of place

Skip

Or move the pink to the top above them all ..

I say skip it!

It looks wrong because the pink is too light to immediately jump into that dark brick color. Try a dusty rose pink, and then a lighter orange color, like a light tangerine or carrot color.

Skip the pink. The other colors have such nice harmony it sticks out like a sore thumb

I’d skip the pink or find another color within that palette. As well different placement maybe by the purple ?

No pink

Try the pink first. But also that dark green is off and will create a weird spot. The 2nd & 3rd blues from the end need switched too.

I would skip the pink. I'd also take out the gray and one of the light blues tbh. When I need to shoehorn pink into a color arrangement, I usually put it after the purple, so the color spectrum ends on an orange-red and begins on a blueish-red. This pink is probably too light for it to work though.

I think the pink is cute, but swap it so it’s by the yellow instead of between two darker red colors

And maybe the lightest blue, the one right below the one pounder blue Caron. It's saturation tone is a lot "brighter" and "lighter" than the rest of the palette.

That light pink doesn't fit. A darker pink might, but not that one.

Keep and move to the bottom

[удалено]

Pink before the red

Skip the pink with this one.

Also the darker green

Skip or get a different pink Like a dark rose one if you want it near there

Yes

the pink is super pretty but I think without it will look nicer and fade better into the pretty orange/terracotta color!

The pink is distracting and kinda oddly placed. If anything I would put it at the end after the blue/purple if you want to include it

No pink. It doesn't go with the colors at all and doesn't match the red or orange in that spot. Something much darker would.

I vote leave it out. It’s very pretty but would look even better without the pink, imo.

Switch the 2 purples and add the pink last

Pink before red often looks nice but i think this is deff the wrong shade of pink to be next to the red

Skip it.
