SCV Forest green pearl blank/ thread colors?

Any suggestions for thread colors on these? Haven't used/seen this color blank before and was actually expecting something different. So it looks like I'll be aquiring some new thread colors. Be nice if it would stop raining around here so I could see it in the sunlight!!

Thank you!!
Scott

Scott,
Consider dark brown with a candy apple trim band.

I just did a float rod on this color blank. Crome Recoils and chestnut thread with no CP. The thread darkened of course but looked really good against the blank, especially out in the sun.

If this is the blank I think it is, I have built several of them. They were all done in ProWrap Oak Leaf green. One was done with lime green metallic trim, one with copper metallic, one with silver metallic, and two with gold metallic trim. I did not use any CP with them.
