Number 3 always gives me issues. Picking the 3 rd color that is in between but complimentary to the first two is a skill set I have not developed. Any pointers or guidelines for figuring this skill out?

Hi Lisa, when putting together 3 colors, I usually select 2 neutral (white, black, brown, camel, navy) and 1 pop of color. It’s easiest to make the pop of color be the underpinning. Hope that helps.

Echoing Suparna! She beat me to it, but I do the exact same, Lisa :)

See my comment above to Suparna. I may be missing something in the example you posted.

Thanks for this! I usually use the same 2 neutrals and not different ones. So something I can try. But in this specific example, it looks like she includes 2 neutrals, but 2 shades of one neutral. Does one of the pieces that are showing up as brown tones actually have a diced undertone that I am not seeing?
