Coordinating colors for Red Heart variegated yarns

When working with variegated/multi-color yarns, you may want to blend in complementing/coordinating solid colors. Sometimes it's not that easy trying to find such coordinating colors like for my current project that I am working on with the Red Heart Shaded Dusk colorway. I did a search this morning for an aid that would help with finding some coordinating colors and found this helpful chart that helps with solid color coordination with the Red Heart variegated yarns.
