Their true colors

First photo: yesterday, but I forgot to hit post.

Today:

 When you want a peach color and you have a peach yarn and you put it in in single stitches separated by those other colors and they flip it to pink just because they can.

The photos did a good job of capturing the change exactly.

Color peer pressure: I always expect it, and it always surprises me.

Perhaps the peach will behave if you pair it with orange or yellow. Peaches are two colors, and it might tone down the pinkness a bit.

Love your progress!

Adjacent colors do a stunning amount to color-shift things! More so in some cases than others, but still…

There are at least two Coca-Cola Cans That Look Red But Actually Have No Red In The Picture, and they are bewildering but true. Here’s one of them: https://www.creativebloq.com/news/coca-cola-optical-illusion-still-confusing

Huh…go figure. I second Anne’s suggestion.

Terrific progress! The yarn is peach, however a peach on a tree is more yellow-orange-red, so maybe play with Anne’s idea.
