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.

White! It looks so amazing against burgundy.

Who just posted falls with maroon and baby blue? Cause that looked amazing in my opinion. Maybe its not for everyone, but it definitely popped and I looovvved it

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

I'd be tempted to go with a bright neon yellow...or maybe emerald green

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.

I think a royal blue or a pink would look great. Maybe white?

I know it's likely been overdone, but I like baby pink with burgundy.

Agreed! I've made couple of tasty burgundy based sets -

burgundy + plastikhaar kirschrot + fuchsia (neon violet)

burgundy + plastikhaar kirschrot + plastikhaar peperoni + black + orchid

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
Image

brown/gold, BC, white/redwine, BC, redwine/brown/gold
Image
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
