Off the shelf swatch ps

I meant to include a picture of the yarn off the swatch in yesterday's post.  

First of all, I still think that the light blue (looks lilac above) and the very light blue (looks white above) look like they'd blend well.  They really don't.

Second of all, after I'd finished the swatch,  I thought I might try another without the three lightest bits.  I thought they were in standing out.  

But I can already see that the blue and the purple won't get along (top left).   They don't get along on the swatch, either, but I was so distracted by the light bit standing out that I failed to notice them failing to meld.
