John Deere Green

I am wanting to do a John Deere themed rod on the green CRB green blank. Any suggestions for a thread color? I was thinking of using the ProWrap neon yellow/sage/black. Will it be too loud or do y'all have any other suggestions for the colors?

In order to get the "paint" look, I'd almost surely use an NCP for both the yellow and the green.

I just completed a John Deere theme, althought it was on a matte gray blank. (Last coat of finish turning as I type.) I used ProWrap 519 for the green and I think
Prowrap 101 for the yellow. On my blank it came out extremely close to John Deere. I would do a couple of test wraps with finish to see how the green
blank effects the thread color.
