To mesh or not to mesh 6: chevrons and Striping in lace fabrics 1 offer a variety of ways to produce color striped movements in lace knits of varying complexity. Published repeats intended for use with the lace transfer carriage may appear different ie when comparing the previously shared PNG on the left, to the one used in this post on the right, but are essentially the same with a shift in the placement of design segments.

When adding color striping, the changes may be made manually or using the color changer.
Yarn ends and how to managed them are always a consideration when planning final pieces.
Side edge(s) may need small weights added to keep the yarn feeding so stitches remain even sized or on the changer side when yarns are carried up rather than cut to keep them from gathering the knit.
When testing concepts I prefer to use colors that allow for developing an understanding of how the stitches are formed and make it easier to identify dropped stitches, as well as tensions that do not challenge the transfers.
Striping with frequent color changes is easier to execute using the single bed color changer, which does not allow for operation of the lace carriage from the left.
To use the lace carriage operating from the right on Brother machines, the punchcard can be turned over and renumbered if needed, or choose a Toyota card, since in those patterns the LC operates from the right. In the electronic programming the design can be left as is in software downloads or models that usually require mirroring, or left alone in those that do not.
Two variations 
Many techniques can be developed from single full repeats and their close relatives. In DIY that fact can be used to create large collections.
Personal preferences, taste, and sometimes simple patience serve as guidelines.
Needles out of work may be added to create ladder spaces, can outline shapes or interrupt them with simple vertical lines.
When side by side stitches are transferred, large eyelets will be formed. They begin with side by side loops that are anchored by the subsequent pair of transfers in opposing directions.

After a break from looking at the swatch I began to notice missing eyelets, it is easy to omit pixels in lace PNGs with so few markings.

and the new proof of concept with correct patterning. Lace knitting can be fiddly, the bottom of the swatch illustrates some of the fun variations in patterning that can result while one exploring how to make things work with changes in yarn, tension, and weights
Exploring what happens can only be discovered by trying it. Here 3 colors and then 4 are rotated 1, 2, 3, and then 4 every 2 rows. The pattern is symmetrical, the effect on the stripes’ movement or distortion is subtle.
