Help please
I have a blank that is virtually the same colour as Gudebrod Garnet.
I'm using blue zirconium guides with a blue Abu Ambassadeur baitcaster
I have used the blue burl cork for handles

Any suggestions for thread colours appreciated - pictures even better
Thank you Robert

Why not use the Garnet with a couple of single trim bands to give it that "Stealth" look.

Garnet or a complimentary red (there are lots of color charts available, but Visual Wrap will give you the best ideas) with a white trim, makes for a relatively spectacular look.

Garnet/ black or white trim. Cobalt blue. Godebrud or Rice fushia with no CP. Gunmetal grey. I saw an XMG 50 Lamiglas which is a close color in a green/gold that was nice. Red/black Classic twist would also look good I think in my mind's eye.
