Most Versatile Colors for Veils

[gotraqs]

What colors/color combos make for the most versatile silk veils, that can be matched to a lot of costumes? I like bold colors, nothing too pastel-ey.

I have one in black,yellow,red and purple.
It's fantastic, all in one veil.

My Akai Merkaba goes with nearly everything.

Yep - I have an Akai (well...I have several, LOL!) but my "default" one is jewel toned burgundy/purple with a hint of red. I can't remember the name of it. Goes with just about everything. Mind you, my costumes also tend to be of the same color family - reds, blues and purples.

my friend Dar at www.shiboriborealis.com says 'just say no to pastels'

check out her selection, she does wonderful bold colors ..I especially love her shibori style designs, they look like ripples of color

if you like ombres, yup Merkaba is every color of the rainbow except green..or something like Sunrise Merk incorporates many colors as well

my main focus of dyeing has always been to put many colors together, not only are they visually attractive but it helps dancers pair them up with costumes..you can have one veil that goes with many costumes :)

I guess it depends on what colors you wear. I love my Akai green to turquoise to purple veil, but a lot of my costumes are turquoise. The other half are red and I have a red veil. Red also goes well with brown, gold. It only clashes with pink.
