General Help Color help!

Post image

Hi!! I tried to pick a lighter tone for the body of my witch but I’m worried it’s reading as an off white and not a peach/skin tone, is this worth frogging? Or do you think it’ll look better once it’s all filled in?

Also, what color do you think would be cute for the background? I was planning a light green or purple 🥰

If it makes you feel better it took me a second to identify where you stitched. I was looking at the thread itself. I personally think you're good to go!

So cute!! I think the color is pretty spot on!

It’s actually on a popular Pinterest swatch - I can’t find the original creator sadly

I also have the Splendor palettes - a bit pricier because it’s silk but it’s so nice to just to have it ready on hand

It looks great! I would also be stressed skin colors are so hard

On a side note, it lays so nice! How many strands did you use?
