It’s easy enough to color a Celtic knot all one color and call it good, but is that really a good thing?
Some Celtic knots are actually two or more separate strands, interwoven with each other.
Consider this knot:

I didn’t take the time to color the original design. I merely assumed it was a single knot. I counted the number of corners, curves, and bars that I would need to complete the project.
It wasn’t until I started laying out the shapes that I realized my mistake. This was not one Celtic knot, but two! (Can you find them?)
Here’s the exact same Celtic knot with the separate strands colored differently:

Quite different, wouldn’t you say?
I recommend taking the time to trace the path(s) of your Celtic knots. Trace them on a separate piece of paper, if need be.
I believe you should assign separate colors to separate strands of a Celtic knot.
Not only do the colors invite the eye to follow along the paths, but they add visual impact to the piece.
What do you think about this?
I agree. The two color really brings out the design better.
Thank you, Gene!!
I dunno why there aren’t more multi-colored Celtic knots!!
