Hi!So I made a pattern with a rainbow theme in it. But it keeps getting declined because my blue and purple are too similair. But the colours are literally the same as multiple other rainbows I can find on the website. I'm starting to get really frustrated. Especially because the only thing it says is "colours to similairg=h" whwn they are clearly purple and blue... What am I supposed to do? Never make a rainbow? |

We do not accept patterns with colors that are too similar or hard to tell apart, especially when it triggers the generator's alert/warning. I suggest making your colors have as much contrast as possible so they are easily distinguishable.

Honestly though, there is a lot, and I do mean A LOT of contrast between the purple and the blue. I even went as far as upping the colour fully, when my goal was going more pastel, only because it kept getting declined. I see I can't add a picture off the example here, but one of the colours is 0050fc and the other is 8b49ed. Those are very different colours

Please pay attention to the notification at the top of the pattern's page that tells you when colors are too similar. Again, try to have more contrast between colors, making it clear and distinct.

@Nikaz The two particular colours you’ve referenced have very similar undertones that would definitely trigger the system to label them as similar. I’ve had patterns declined with similar colours to those as well and I’m a mod. Though frustrating, it’s nothing personal. The problem with colours like this is that a user being able to easily distinguish them in the knotting grid will GREATLY depend on the quality of the monitor they are using and that’s not really something you want your pattern’s clarity to depend upon. If someone is using an older monitor those colours ARE going to look very similar unless there’s more contrast between them. It sucks when you can clearly see the difference and it gets declined but we try to consider all users when we review patterns. I’m sorry you feel frustrated- I’ve been there too but hopefully Something here helps you out! ✌🏻💚

@halokiwi thank you! I decided to try it one last time, with the purple and blue you gave, and it got accepted. If I ever make a pattern again i'll just search the colours from other patterns that where accepted

Thank you for the helpful message with the colors of the rainbow! I was getting extremely confused because I didn't see any of the colors as very close on my pattern, but now I understand.
