I'm hoping a few of you that have built on the blue forecast blanks can help. What thread color combos have you used that looked good? I am horrible with colors anyway and these blue blanks are throwing me.

One with black guides and hardware the other with SS.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm doing one now with Guidebrod Dark Blue and Silver Metallic trim wraps. I'm not much good on color combos either, but I think it looks pretty good.

Garnet with gunmetal trim looks great. Rust with champagne (tan) look good too as do several colors of green.

Grudbrod blue dun with/without trim also. Use the search function for a huge list of what people have used on the old/new Forecasts.
