Picking Colours for a New Improv Piece

There’s a new improv work brewing, with colours picked from my stash. All solids, plain ones, not fancy thread dyes. It’s pretty hard to stay away from them, but I want to use what I have. I’ve  chosen a muted colour scheme, enhanced by a few brights.

I may have to add in a dark later. One thing that helps lots of creatives assess colour value is comparing a colour and black and white photo of your choices.
