    top SEVEN costume color choices

    I'm making these scarf sets in Hawaii, they are a set of seven to represent the seven different (main) islands and was thinking it may be cool to do something similar for bellydance veils..

    So was thinking of making a gift set or package deal of the 7 most popular color choices to go with the 7 most popular costume color choices

    What would you say are the most popular costume color choices?
    This is the list I made and some veils that would go with each..

    1) red and burgundy costume
    veils- ruby glisten, or fire, crimson fire with burgundy

    2) turquoise costume
    veils- turquoise island, bird of paradise

    3) deep blue costume
    veils- sirena or hummingbird

    4) teal
    veils- tickle me teal or kata

    5) royal purple
    veils- heaven sent or kata

    6) pastel colored costumes (would also include white)
    veils- bint mint would cover pastel pink, turquoise, mint and lilac all in one

    7) metals..gold, silver and black or tribal inspired/triberat
    veils- one of the spanish dancer veils

    Re: top SEVEN costume color choices

    Here are my winninng combinations, mostly skirts and tops:

    Burgundy costume:
    Wine merkaba

    Turquoise costume:
    Hummingbird and bird of paradise

    Blue: Merkaba

    I am fond of having a yellow/gold/copper bottom of a skirt, which emphasizes its movement.

    I'm wondering if you need *both* teal and turquoise on the list, if that results in a need to cram gold and silver into sharing a slot.

    was thinking about lumping turquoise and blue together, and green with chartreuse and teal..

    it also seems that brown costumes are a continuing trend. as opposed to back in the day when brown costumes were lumped into gold/bronze/caramel, it now seems that brown for the sake of brown is very popular....

    hot pink is another color, which I think will never die. Seems a lot of people prefer wering fiuchsi to wearing a pastel shade, for fear looking pasty or wahed out.

    and veils that go with browns/bronzes also go with leopard print - another popular 'color'. :)

    What about black? MY favorite....
    Very hard to find black veils that don't look like a funeral drape....
