You can choose two colors for this design - with lots of contrast for a bold look, or less contrast for a softer look. Using a variegated colorful yarn for your contrast color would create an interesting effect. Just make sure the main color you use is different from any of the colors in the contrast yarn.

Play around with different options and make sure to make a swatch with the two colors together to see how they play with each other.
