I'd say black and white NCP for the base and bright spring green for the overwrap?

Don't forget CP if you want that spring green to jump. I like to use Cason's cp on my Tiger Wraps. Finished one today and will post a pic. It was a deep blue and came out nice. Re: Tiger color help

Or you could do a black and met silver with the green overwrap Re: Tiger color help

Black and white, or black and yellow for the underwrap. Green overwrap.

Strange deal with the green - your words - bright green.
Green is the only color choice that I have never been able to do a holographic wrap with that met my expectations. I have done about twenty all different choices of thread color - not one of which ever left my shop - When you use the word bright it would be logical to use a metallic green on the top layer - not good as the light is reflected away which diminishes the bottom thread effect. The use of green flocking materials on grip surraces produces non pleasing results as well. I was told by a professional photographer that green is the most non photogenic of all colors. It is not typically used for advertisements that are needed to "pop". If you figure out a green thread choice that produces a satisfactory result please post it when completed. Re: Tiger color help

posted one on the photo page that came out really nice - used a medium shade of green Madeira for the top thread. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
