Blue and green sit next to each other on the colour wheel, so this pairing blends rather than contrasts, giving prints an ocean-like gradient instead of hard stripes. It is the subtler option in the dual silk range and a good first choice if two-tone filament sounds louder than what you normally print. Tall, spiralised shapes get the most out of it, since the eye follows the shift from the top of a model down to the base. The silk surface disguises fine layer lines on its own, so display pieces come off the bed ready to hand over.
