A trip to Scotland provided me with inspiration for colour schemes for a fair isle sweater.
The greenness and redness of the scrub and blueness of the sea is rife with colour combinations. The sky adds its own blue and grey to the mix. The ground has some brown and grey for earth and stone. The combination is very pleasing.
Furthermore, I like the way the houses are white with grey rooves and black windows. It's in no way reflective of the landscape, but it does become part of it.
Even in rainy weather, that lovely red and green and blue palette emerges. It gets some rich greys mixed in, too.
The grey weather forms a palette all its own. I don't know if I would enjoy knitting a sweater in a thousand shades of grey, but I do like looking at it. NB white snow on the top of the mountains and white water cascading down the hillside.
