If you're ever curious or anxious about crocheting with more than one color you may start with using two then venture to even more colors. I wanted to give this a try too.  After working a few patterns it didn't take long to figure that adding more than one color was going to be a lot of work. Just using one color leaves me with so many loose yarn ends. I just knew that by adding more colors even more loose ends would result and that I would jump ship. Also, my expense would multiply. So one day I got the guts to try an ombre yarn. Ombre is a french word meaning shades. By using this ombre yarn I was able to incorporate numerous colors into my work without breaking the bank or my hands.
