Though you have decided, you can't go wrong with shades of all the colours
mentioned. My wife is a fashion designer and has experienced varying shades
within the same fabric's colours (sometimes due to the error of the
manufacturer in mismatching dye lots).
Of course wear and tear and fading are another reason...
Cheers, Michael
