A little color help

OK, I've built out a couple of American Tackle's "Matrix" rods and have always used a red color scheme with them.

I am looking for something different this time. Any suggestions on a nice color scheme outside of red?

I've thought about brown, black, green to match, or white. What do y'all think?

I just finished one with size A metallic forest green, lime green, copper and gold chevrons...looks great...I think if your going to use a green color you have to use a few shades of green to make it work. Gold, copper, that dark grey graphite color all look great together in a wrap with these blanks. I only like the metallics on these blanks though. I guess some of the NCP greens would look cool too.

I think gold metalic really pops on green blanks.

On green blanks Black and Orange Classic Twist imo looks very good. Gives a wood grain/tiger stripe effect.
