Looking for some ideas for what will look good for a trim with a red base. The last rod I made I used gold as a trim so I would like some different ideas for a trim color

Can never go wrong with some pewter/silver, especially if it is metallic red.

Metallic gold looks great with red. I did length marker wraps (gold/red/gold) on a switch rod that I built. It's a royal combination that really pops.
