silver, hyper silver hyper black, anthrasite, graphite, black, those work well with grayscale colors i think. bronze and gunmetals are tricky.

I wonder if after the red pin stripe it would either minimize that effect, or provide a good differenciating line that would separate the two into their own areas and allow that color difference to be the accent feature...? hmm
