Mar. 15th, 2021 08:59 amToday's lesson in color theory: just because it looks like the right color on a white background doesn't mean it's gonna look good in situ.
( Ace pride climbers test 1: Swarovski colors jet, graphite, crystal moonlight shimmer, and iris. )
I'll be trying the purple velvet beads next. That's the dark purple color that I had for the enby flag climbers. It's a really nice purple, but next to black it looks so dark that it's hard to say it's purple. Next to the crystal beads it may be a different story. If this doesn't work I have a lighter clear purple, I think it was called lilac or violet, and if that doesn't work out either - especially against darker skin than mine, because I am a very poor Italian-American when it comes to melanin - I may need to see about one of the milky colors like cyclamen opal or a coated color like amethyst with double AB coating (the problem with that is that the AB makes it so iridescent you can't guarantee seeing that it's purple).
