Default String color ideas

I can't come up with a good pair of colors that work together, so I'm asking you guys for some help.

I was thinking maybe silver and flo green, black and yellow, white w/ black speckled, and flo green, silver and flo orange.

Any of these sound good? Also, I'm open for any other suggestions.

I like my string to match something about my bow. Assuming your guardian is obsession camo.....

silver and green (did this on my 07 guardian)
metallic bronze and silver
Green/ black and Red/ black (This is the color I went with for my General. Green/ black for the camoand Red/ black for the red in the octane accessories)
Silver/ black and Green/ black

I don't like florescent colors as they tend to "glow" and be very bright in my vision. Almost like a dim light shining in my eye.

I used to really like "The Truth" bow when it first came out because of the brightly colored string. Now it seems like everybody is going with bright colored string. I actually took my bow in last night to get a new string and cable put on and I went with red and tan. Something different. Its probably gonna look a little gawdy, but I wanted something different. I went with winners choice string. Are you going with the same thing? I only ask because I couldn't get that full assortment of colors to choose from. Good luck with whatever you get!

Dare to be different. Stand out in the crowd. I always suggest hot pink and purple, but few people take me up on it.

I've thought about this color pretty hard but didnt know how it would look. Plus Mo bowhunter is ordering with me and going with tan/ flo green, and my dad is doing the primos colors.

Matt do you have any pics of your strings? I can't see em in your avatar.
