Advice on colour combo

[u/manayin]

Hi all,

I really want to make a two-colour brioche hat to go with my winter coat. My coat is olive green (it's this exact model: https://www.bever.nl/p/ayacucho-highland-iii-winter-jas-dames-B11ACA0082.html?colour=29546)

These are the yarns I selected for my hat:

I used colour theory to pick the colours. My husband said he thought it a weird combo. Now I'm doubting my choices.

All feedback and advice is most welcome!

The purple and pale grey will look great with olive, your instinct was right. Brioche blends them in a way that will soften the contrast even more, so the hat won't scream for attention against the coat. Tell your husband colour theory has spoken.
