Two skeins each of the two colors. Koigu KPM(semi-solids) in complementary colors; one of each color. One skein of Koigu KPPPM for tassels.

Begin by deciding how to use your 4 colors. The variegated will be the main colors and the solids will be accents. Pair them up as you like them, each solid will work predominantly with one or the other of the multicolors.
