Peacock Shrug - Both Sides Done, But...

As I started on the blue stripes on the second half it occurred to me that it might look better if the darker blue were next to the orange instead of the lighter blue.  I had done about half a dozen rows of the lighter blue when this occurred to me, so I ripped back and worked the darker blue first and then the light blue.  The hue and intensity of the darker blue and the orange are similar, as are the lighter blue and the yellow-orange, so I think the colors balance better.  Now I will rip back the first side and reverse the blues.
