What do you think about this colorway for a boy?

MunchkinWear

I want to make my grandson a vest that will hopefully be done in early-ish spring, so I would love something that will have a nice spring-y look.

Do you think this will work? It says it has pink in it, but that tone doesn't really "stand out" to me, so I was hopeful...

Another choice is this one, a bit darker, but still a "rainbow"...

Opinions?

I like the second one a lot! Personally, the first one is too girly for me to put on my boys, and I don't mind purple or cranberry shades on boys.

Personally, I'd probably go with the second, too.

I'm knitting with the first, on a different base, right now, for a boy and it's fine. The pink doesn't stand out at all and it's knitting up beautifully imo. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow if it's any help (dark here now)

I don't think the pink stands out in the first, but I prefer the second also. It has more richness to the colors, IMO.

So, out of 4 "votes", the darker Explosion gets 3...and I was really gravitating toward the Double Rainbow. One of my problems is that sometimes, if it is iffy, I tend toward more feminine colors, I think....LOL!

Shadow, these go live tomorrow morning (10:00 a.m. my time) and I doubt they will last long. I appreciate the offer of a pic of the Double Rainbow worked up, but not sure I'd see it in time. Wink

I just tried, but can't get the colours right. If it's any help 10am your time is 3pm my time, I'd get pics up before you're most likely awake if I remember!

I guess you saw the other rainbow too? Rainbow Prism.
I'd vote for double rainbow, I really don't like the other personally.

Personally, I don't think the first one is very boyish. Of the DBK colorways posted for stock, I think the rainbow prism is more boyish.

For rainbow colorways for boys, I prefer Pharoah and Double Chocolate Lollipop by Mosaic Moon.

Second one is fine for a boy IMO, but not the first. I bet she woudl do a custom for you w/out the pink though.

I LOVE the first one, and I would put it on my boys, but the second one is more traditionally "boyish".
