First, which color most closely matches the blank color? Second, in your opinion, which colors look best with the blank color?

I just finished two of them. One was with Gudebrod 720 medium Gray with 9037 metalic Ice blue trim, no color preserver. I used the Forecast LTCUDUG& LTCFUG guides Light Tich with Blue Zirconium rings, looks great. On the second I used 0246 dark blue with 9002 metalic trim also with the same guides. If you want something that bleeds into the blank color than your going to have to use a white. This new blank color will go with just about any thread color. I like to tone it down a bit with darker shades. I'm considering Green with metalic Blue trim or Blue with Metalic green trim for the next one. I have used this color before on the Matte and OG color blanks so we will see how she looks on the new Tich XST's.
