I'm planning on doing an open diamond cross wrap on a metallic copper colored rod. Need suggestions on thread colors. Most likely three colors. Two Madeira and and one metallic.

Steve,

See how you like dark blue, light blue, and silver metallic. I like these with copper.

Take care,

Chris

I have those colors. I'll do a short test wrap. And give it a look.

Turquoise color or teal would stand out nice with a copper colored blank, as well as some greens, think of copper patina colors. [www.google.com];

Olive green is a nice color with copper.

Thanks for the suggestions. This build is a ways down the road (April) so I have plenty of time to experiment.
