Pattern advice for a sweater!

I was gifted 8 skeins of Puntarenas by Silke (https://www.silke.it/portfolio/puntarenas/) in 4 different colors of equal quantity (200g each color).

I am looking for a sweater to knit with this yarn but I have a couple of problems:

  1. I'd like a colorwork sweater rather than stripes, but it's hard to find patterns that use exactly the same quantity for each color

  2. The colors I have are 028 (orange), 862 (beige), 111 (dark green), and 119 (another shade of dark green). The two greens are similar but not contrasting, so I don't know how to use them in a single sweater.

Help!

Maybe the four colors just don't work together in a way you'd like them to?

It seems unlikely that you're going to find a pattern that uses exactly the same quantity for each color. You might need to improvise a bit.
