Black-blue, black-red, black-green, black-copper, black-pink, black-teal, black-purple, black-black.
15 people could give you an answer and you will get 15 different color combinations. Just take a white blank or a dowel painted white and do some test wraps to see what looks the best to you. My suggestion might be the best color choice for me or the next guy but to you it may be the worst.

I smell Jesse coming to the rescue!
I would not use Pink, Aqua and Envy unless you have a special customer or a "funny" deckhand!.
Go to the Benjamine Moore Paint site and look at the color wheel and how it is used to determine various methods of color systems. Ranges form monochromatic to all types of matching sysems and we have all the thread colors to use instead of paint and a brush.

So many options....so little time.
Take a look at the cars and trucks going down the highway on your morning commute...lots of color combo options designed by people that get paid to arrainge...colour.
(Lance wrote....'are those Yankee colors?)...NO! They wear pinstripes with the exception of their 3rd basewoman. (sorry, had to!!!) lol.

Michael - I tried to do one with Gumbo Colors but it looked almost as bad as the "Clam Chowder" Yank Special!

Wrap the entire blank black, wrap the guides on with black. Mix " Fire Opal" metal flake in your Flexcoat finish and coat the entire thing from tip to foregrip. You don't need any more "Flake" in second coat. Jesse
