One thing I learned is that every time I try with colors I think people would like it goes wrong, it\u2019s so difficult to do something I don&#8217;t feel for. For me it\u2019s just a feeling. Colors are extremely important for me, for example if I come to a place with wrong (in my taste) colors, or wallpapers, I cannot relax, it\u2019s like my whole body is restless. An other example is my kitchen, I have repainted it five times before I now love it, the color has perfect tone and every time I come in in the kitchen I feel calm.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_5466-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_5466-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_5466-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_5466-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_5466-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><b class=\"\">How do you know if you have sufficient contrast, or blending?<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">The same here, it\u2019s just a feeling and if I go on the feeling it often goes well, but many things I do I through away or start over with again.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><b class=\"\">Do you ever get surprised as you are swatching that the colors that looked right as skeins sitting together aren\u2019t working as stitches?&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Not so often.
