I love the TH Distress Inks, etc. I would advise Antique Linen and then one of the Browns for distressing. The Walnut Stain is the darkest. After that, look at the color schemes you tend to use most and start there. Branch out to include one color from each color family on the color wheel. I took a few classes using TH products and we used Antique Linen, Broken China, Peacock feathers, yellow, orange and then the brown the most. I'm not an orange person, but the persimmon is lovely. Festive Berries is a great holiday color as is Pine Needles. I've rounded out my lesser used colors by purchasing the markers and use them with the craft mat and water. I'd also recommend picking up Picket Fence in the marker and stain.
I only have access to the big box stores and they don't carry the full line of TH products, only the basic colors. So, I can buy those there, but not the yellows, greens, pinks, purples, etc. I have to buy those online or travel to a LSS. So, you might want to purchase colors in part based on where you are buying them.
Oh, I have never heard of Pickled Raspberries! Is it one you use a lot?
I tend to like bright Caribbean colors. My use of inks tends to move around so it could be Distress or memento or Hero arts mid-tones or VersaFine. Just depends on which line has the color to match the idea or the paper.
