What color yarn matches red?

Question

I am crocheting a shoulder bag, what color yarn would look really pretty with bright red? Im thinking gold but what other two colors do you think would look really nice together if i decide to not use the red?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

I would prefer BLACK. :)

Answer 2

A solid color put together with red all depends on your personality and the kinds of clothes you wear, so I guess I would put red with a variegated yarn that has red in it.  If you wear jeans a lot, find one that maybe also has a little blue in it, too.

Answer 3

Lets see---what goes with Red?

Grey or black if you want to be conservative.

Hot pink and orange to be funky.

Navy blue or white to be patriotic.

Green and white would be Christmas.

Brown and orange for Fall.

Answer 4

I love messing around with colors! I read once that things look more interesting if there are 3 colors, so my instincts seem to go to 3 colors. Here are some ideas;

1. A bright lime and a purple look really cool.

2. Purple is nice alone also. I made a hat last Christmas with leftover yarns and it turned out really nice.

3. Pink can look nice too. Or, if you're open to 2 extra colors, pink and fuscia along with your red.

4. Here's the weird one, but it looks nice--army green.

5. Last of all, gray and black.

Good luck! Have a great time pulling together some fun colors!
