    I agree. I also think that a more peachy pink would work better. I think that the colour in the stripes does not 'read' that dark because of some optical effect of the contrast. To me that fabric needs dusty colours with it.

    How about a darker golden yellow. Maybe adding a shade of blue in too

    Heres my thoughts~

    If you want to go with the solids add a purple or a blue

    if you want to match the stripe it will have to be a different yellow and green.

    I am attaching a picture of a fabric that incorporates the colors you have chosen so you can see how the purple would work - also if you wanted to use a print, one like this would work (sorry picture not very good - if interested I can send better pic later) this was just to show color combo but would be willing to sell fabric lol

    Please be sure to let us see what you decide on!!!cheryl :thumbup: :D

    How about white instead of the beige?

    I think your green has too much yellow in it. A darker green perhaps and maybe a red-violet or a light gray blue and then black or white to make everything pop.
