Accent color for dread wig - MORE PICS ADDED AT END
I've started working on a new dread wig and I'm having a hard time finding an accent color. I'm going to use maroon kk that matches the base wig and some black solid and black/maroon transitionals, but I'd like to add one more color that really pops.
Any ideas?

i think if you could blend a nice deep golden yellow, that would look nice.

I'm partial to neon violet and deep cherry with burgundy.

Re: Accent color for dread wig
I'd be tempted to go with a bright neon yellow...or maybe emerald green

Re: Accent color for dread wig
So many great ideas! Time to dig into my KK stash and experiment.
Thank you all so much:) I would never have thought of some of the colors you suggested. Inspiring.

Re: Accent color for dread wig
I think a royal blue or a pink would look great. Maybe white?

Re: Accent color for dread wig
I know it's likely been overdone, but I like baby pink with burgundy.

Re: Accent color for dread wig
I've made some quick and dirty dreads to pin on the wig to compare color combo's. These are the colors I had laying around, mostly natural tones.
Base Color(BC), cherry/redwine, BC, Black to BC trans, BC, redwine
brown/gold, BC, white/redwine, BC, redwine/brown/gold
Here they are all together.
What do you think?
I just ordered a bunch of KK (Oy Vey!) for this and other projects so I'll try some other combo's.

That looks sooo good! You've got an amazing eye for color. I love that brighter red and think it would look great sprinkled in more
