TIP FOR CHOOSING COLORS
Strong contrast between MC and CC is encouraged so you can easily read and understand your stitches. To make sure there is enough contrast, take a picture of your MC & CC skeins and convert it to grayscale. Your MC should appear much lighter than your CC in the picture.
Note: In the sample shown, on the right side, MC appears in the foreground, and CC forms the background for the brioche stitches. Here, light color is used as MC and dark color is used as CC.
