Embroidery Inspiration
I created this color palette for the Forget me not project. Since the complementary color of blue is orange, for a harmonious result, I used a combination of yellow-orange and yellowish-green shades.
If you need to substitute the green shades, choose a light green, otherwise, the blue flowers will get lost and will not properly stand out from the background.
