| lovely color saturation but the transition from fuchsia to lilac is very stark and breaks up the design |

| very little color transition between fuchsia and lilac |

| much more mixing between aqua and fuchsia |
This was a learning experience for me the same way that the Birgitta taught me a lesson about mixing golden yellow with any kind of blue. This time around though I think I may try and replicate this color way with a couple of changes.
Colors used were, Aquamarine [contains turquoise], Turquoise, Fuchsia [contains turquoise], Lilac.
As you can see in the center from the shift from turquoise to fuchsia there's some nice color mixing to turn the color a bit purple. On the other hand there was not much mixing of colors between the fuchsia and lilac. I think that's because the lilac is basically comprised of Medium Blue and Fir Engine Red, no turquoise there for the fuchsia to play nice with in the mix. This has brought similar result as with Birgitta in that the color change from fuchsia to lilac is quite stark and breaks up the flow a bit.
I really like these colors and this colorway so I'm not going to abandon it just yet, in the future I think I will experiment with using aquamarine, no turquoise because it didn't seem to show up much anyway, fuchsia which will play nice with the aquamarine since they both have turquoise, then pour on some magenta and then the lilac and see if those 2 colors play nicer and mix together better than with fuchsia.
Or it could be just that I put too much thread between the fuchsia and the lilac and should have let them mix more. So next time I will make up 2 versions of this color way, one that uses fuchsia and magenta and one that only uses fuchsia but lets the fuchsia and lilac mix more closely together.
Still a lovely result, but could be better. Stay tuned for follow up!
