"But what if I don't like my color combo??"
That's totally ok!!! (I personally connect more with Aquamarine than my designated birthstone stone, Garnet) If this is you, try going with favorite colors or color schemes.
My advice always is to choose what best reflects you or your loved ones and go with that. :-)
