Ideas for using up weird yarn colours?

I mainly make amigurumi, alongside some accessories and small garments here and there. I have loads of cotton/acrylic yarn skeins in uncommon, weird colors that wouldn’t work well for that though, I’m talking greys, dark greens, neon orange. I’m trying to clear up my yarn stash, so what can I make to use up these yarns? I was thinking maybe dishcloths to donate or gift to friends, but that’s all I can think of. Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated! <33

You could make mittens for children and donate to a local preschool or daycare. You could also make a blanket.

Greys are great for amigurumi - whales, sharks, dolphins, hippos etc

Greens are great for amigurumi plants like succulents, cactus etc.

Neon orange you could use for amigurumi glow worms, gummy bears, pumpkins etc

Octopuses are pretty versatile! Theres a pattern by @craftycellist that I definitely recommend! (The octopus)

octos and leggy frogs look good in any color! as for the cotton things, rags, face scrubbies, or a washrag of any kind would be perfect- just make sure it wouldn’t irritate the skin if used on the face/body!
