Well, I have to be honest. The Calmer palette offers too many pastels for me. That is one reason I was initially looking for a substitution. I tend to avoid pastels in general. I'm occasionally drawn to certain shades of light pink, but Flamingo is not it. Initially I thought Amour would work for me. But I've made SO MANY red things recently, I thought I should try to branch out. I liked Joy and Slosh, but honestly they really aren't my favorite shades of blue. I've been knitting a skirt in black hemp, so although the idea of Onyx sounds okay, I didn't really want to knit Onyx. But Coffee Bean appealed, and I don't have too many brown things. I always get compliments when I wear warm browns, so that is the color I'm leaning towards now.
