Looking for tiger wrap recommendation

I have very limited thread on hand as I wanted to make my first few rods with a common color theme.

I have Fuji Ultra Poly Metallic Silver, Fuji Ultra Poly Medium Green, and Prowrap Black - all in Size A.

Would recommend a Black/Silver base with Green on top or a Green/Silver base with black on top?
Which would appear more black and which more green?

Thanks.

The bottom layer adds the effect, the top layer the color.

Ok, great. So I'll lay down black and silver as the base and green on top. I'm looking for a green-ish look but not to "milky" or light. I assume the blacka nd silver will provide a bit of darkness but enough contrast to make the effect work well.

THANKS!

The silver foil and the black are regular Prowrap.
The greens are Pacbay colour fast.
