What I have is a burgandy blank and I have already planned on wrapping the guides with garnet and trim in silver, also all my hardware including the guides is silver. I am going to do a small butt wrap on this rod and wanted to do three or so shades of something to go along with the garnet, any suggestions?
Thanks, Rob

Google "color wheel" and you will find an amazing amount of information and aids in understanding color harmony and choices.

Yellow or Goldenrod, combined with Garnet and Gold, is a striking combination.

Thanks Tom, that was what I was really asking, experience with different garnet combinations.
