Well, IMHO, I think ripples look best with stripes of different colours, and I usually use at least three colours. I like to use shades of the same colour, like I made a blue one with white, light blue, blue and navy. My pattern repeated three rows of each colour and I used w, lb,b,n,b,lb,w over and over until it was as long as I wanted, I ended on white again because I like things to be symmetrical. I liked it that way because the colour appears to ripple as well, I was on a water theme. It would look great with shades of pink as well.

 

I've been planning another ripple soon, I'm thinking about a forest themed one using a tree-bark brown and three shades of green.

 

I hope you show us what you decide!

I agree with Reneva...I think that ripples look best when they are different colors. Mix it up...they always turn out great!

Don't know how much you want to invest but what about a rainbow ripple? Just an idea

I have done both shades of one color, such as blues or browns, and both complementary or contrasting colors; sometimes with black between the contrasting stripes.

I like the many different colored ones, randomly striped.

You could do one in a varigated yarn....or a rows of pink, then rows of white...have fun with it, don't stress!

I've done a one-color one which turned out nice, and a three-color one, also nice. Just depends on what you want. Anything goes with ripples.

Where are you planning on showing off your afghan? Maybe use some of the colors in your room to match.

 

Here is a lady that does lots of ripples:

What if you used three different shades of pink and then incorporated the white or a creamy color (depending on which looks better with the pinks you would be choosing) throughout? I think that would be pretty!
