Not sure if this is in the right spot.
I have several rolls of this colored yarn, I think it is amazing. I know I want to use this to make myself something. Was thinking a blanket for those rainy days to curl up and read. But I'm not sure what to use for a secondary color, I feel burgundy would mute the color to much and black would make it to harsh. I can't figure out what to pair it with.

If anyone has an idea of a maybe a different color to go with it. or maybe a pattern.
Thanks in advance for any info

A violet color goes very well with that yarn. I've paired it with that in the past and it was beautiful!

I think Pink would be a good color

I'm not a huge pink fan, I tend to go darker colors. But, what shade of pink do you mean?
