    Aquarius
    Royal Plum Metallic
    carribean turquoise
    Persian Sand

    As HK1837 said Ultra Blue does look good.

    Mook! Blue version of Jamaica Lime. Wash your mouth out with soap! Ultra Blue is a metallic and changes colour with different lighting, like Saffron does in HQ (My HZ Overlander tonner was originally Ultra Blue). Jamaice lime is, well, just green no matter how you look at it!

    Lol, this whole time i thought ultra blue was a solid. Is there a similar looking solid colour that i may have seen?

    Im guessing that you arn't a fan of green then.

    My fav colours would have to be: Panama Green, Tuxedo black, Deauville blue or cotillion white. Colour is a personal thing though, another wicked colour is *ducks head* Vit C from Chrysler, or for a different colour Frost Green.

    My mistake, Ultra blue is SOLID, not metallic. It does change hue though with varying light, very metallic-like in behaviour.

    Green looks good sometimes. I don't dislike a HJ in Jamaica lime, these can look very nice, just nowhere near my first choice of colour. Not a fan of Mint Julip or Panama Green or Supermint especially with lairy HX-Z stripes, these look better as DL7 in my eyes. I do very much like Jade green though, even with HX stripes. Each to their own though.

    I think that the greens look best with blackouts and either DL7 or Black HJ/HQ Stripes. Good call.

    There is a purple HX-HZ Stripe that I think would look alright (Stickthis's suggestions) I think that you need to break up all the green with something dark though.

    i was going to say ultra blue is solid, its a real weird colour, i would give it the thumbs down, but it would unique, i have some guards & they are the best guards i have ever seen in my life in ultra blue pitty they have the wholes in them for the trim, i cant believe how "fake" & flat it looks in original acyrillic, but those new 2pac jobs make it look ace, these days they put that mbase shit in the 2 pac too so it changes hue slightly... id go for one of the suggested cooler metallics.
