Dreaming in Color

Deciding on a color scheme is difficult. I know roughly what we want, but I keep jumping between specifics.... this shade of blue vs. that shade of blue. Y'know... typical wedding indecisiveness.

Our venue has a quasi-Moroccan feel to it, with a lot of burgundy, gold, beige and tan in the venue already. I want to punch up the color a bit, and have long been in love with a "many colors" concept rather than just 2 or 3 theme colors (thanks to Miss Creampuff). So, right away, I knew I'd like to have my 4 'maids in 4 different but complementary colors, like so (except different colors):

I haven't sorted whether I want them all in the same dress or not yet - but that's for a later post.

So, after much debate, I came up with these colors for my scheme:
(sorry for the very un-fancy display here. One day, I'll get wise and make an inspiration board!)

It's not perfect yet, but its a start. I'd like to have each lady in one of the top 4 colors. Am I crazy? It feels slightly exotic, but in a good, not too theme-y way. Plus, who doesn't look good in jeweltones? I hope my ladies are pleased....
