Crochet pattern different color

[Itty Bitty]

I recently found a really pretty pattern for a blanket, but I don't really like the colors the creator picked. I was wondering if there was a website that changed the colors of your picture. It is an intricate pattern, so I don't trust myself to pick the colors. Any help would be appreciated!!

Interesting thought!... I haven't seen anything like it out there. Let's see what other's suggest.

 

Good luck with your project! I'm sure it will be beautiful.

Interesting Question- I haven't heard f anything like that. It would be interesting if it does exist. What pattern are you looking at?

Hi and welcome to the Ville!

 

You could do a search here in the show and tell and see if others have made the same pattern, and see what colors they used.

craftyone- I'm using a pattern called "Joyous Squares" from the book "Everything Crochet." the pattern is here: http://www.crochetmagazine.com/newsletters/talkingcrochet/pages/TCNL2108_patt2.html

Thats' a pretty design. I don't care for the colors either. I'd suggest picking 4 colors that you want to use and make a few sample squares to see how the colors could be arranged. Vary the color placement on each sample and see what you like best.

here is a search for posts on "joyous squares" http://www.crochetville.org/forum/search.php?searchid=6686627

 

It's very pretty and intricate, and i can see why you want to consider different colors.

On Ravelry there are about 16 different colour versions of the Joyous Squares blanket, if you're not already a member I don't know if you can see the pics but here's a link just in case

I know there's a color generator site out there. I had it bookmarked on the old pc that died. now I can't find it. it might be buried on the laptop...(looking. nope not there.

hmmmm

Aha! Found it! http://colorschemedesigner.com/ You can use this one to select shades of one color, 2, 3, 4, etc...complementary or contrasting...very very helpful ( It even has a tool to show how something might appear to a colorblind person, in various types of colorblindness. )
