 he choice of colors is critical to the design of a sweater.
The simplest choice is to use multiple shades of a single color (e.g., various shades of blue), perhaps accented with a contrasting color (e.g. flecks
of yellow).
The arrangement of shades on the sweater can have a significant visual effect, due to the principle of chiaroscuro; dark shades tend to recede and be
smaller, whereas light shades advance and seem larger.
 or example, vertical stripes with a light color in the middle
and dark colors on the sides has a slimming effect. Psychologically, bright colors tend to be associated with straightforward, innocent or extroverted
personalities, whereas darker shades are associated with more thoughtful, experienced and introverted personalities.

Contrasting colors may be chosen in various ways.
A common choice is to take a complementary colors from one of the several color wheels (e.g., blue and orange,
green and red), or to choose a pairing that occurs in nature, e.g., yellow and red.Traditionally an Aran jumper is made from undyed cream-colored báinín
(pronounced bawneen), a yarn made from
sheep's wool, sometimes "black-sheep" wool. They were originally made with unwashed wool that still contained
natural sheep lanolin, making it to an extent water-repellent. Up to the seventies the island women spun their
own yarn on spinning wheels.
The jumper usually features 4–6 texture patterns each of which is about 2–4 inches in width, that move down
the sweater in columns from top to bottom. Usually the patterns are symmetrical to a centre axis extending down
the centre of the front and back panel. The patterns also usually extend down the sleeves as well.
The same textured knitting are also used to make socks, hats, vests and even skirts.
The first Aran knitting patterns were published in the 1940s by Patons of England.
Vogue magazine carried articles on the garment in the 1950s, and jumper exports from the west of Ireland
to the United States began in the early 1950s.
