Help!!

I need help picking my yarn for my monkeys!

DH had to go in to Columbus (Ohio) to do a bit of work so DS & I rode along and we ended up going to the Knitters Merchantile. They had the jitterbug sock yarn which I had not seen in person yet. I got 2 skeins of it and a skein of tofutsies. I got the Fire and the Castagna. I think I am going to use the Castagna for some socks for DH. You can see the colors here

When we got home there were the 2 colors I ordered of lorna's laces in my mailbox. I have Georgetown and Rainbow. They can be seen here by View all Lorna's multi colors here
http://www.lornaslaces.net/colors.asp I am thinking the Georgetown out of these 2

The tofutsies I got is number 728 seen here http://www.soysilk.com/tofutsies.html#newcolors

I am more leaning towards the lorna's laces georgetown but also seriously considering the jitterbug fire

What do you all think?

what color do you like best? and with the multicolor yarns - are any of them going to obscure the pattern?

The truth for me is that if I want the stitch work to be clear, I avoid anything too busy or too dark.

I know what you mean. I did search around last night and found 2 blogs that had pics of the monkey. One with the fire and one with the georgetown. Let me see if I can find them again. I was surprised with how the fire looked.

Here is a monkey in fire in progress about half way down

Here are some in georgetown. I am thinking the photo just isn't as good on these
