What is your oddball color choice to go with a mint green pickguard? I'm looking for ideas, as I have a MG Strat pickguard waiting to be used.

I have a 78 Walnut Musatang with a mint PG. it's amazing.

So come this fall, my schedule is opening up, and I have a few projects on deck. One of which is a Strat kit that my wife got me for my upcoming birthday. Since I have a prewired mint PG sitting around, I may upgrade. The grain on the body looks pretty nice, so I might do a burst. I had a siennaburst strat years ago, and I really loved that, so maybe that direction. Still not sure, but thanks for a couple ideas! :)

My candy apple red Burns Batwing came with a mint pickguard. Always thought that was kind of an odd choice, personally, and I don't really like mint green at all (gloss white, gloss black or NOTHING) but I love that guitar so...
