Viminal
Create a flattering ombre colour effect with two yarns blending smoothly from one to the other. There are so many variations possible: perhaps begin with the same colour for body and sleeves at the top or even use lightly contrasting colours for a very subtle effect.
Options for a single colour version are also given.
