I'm planning on my next build and I'm looking for some ideas with COLOR.

The last build was quite subtle Cedar top/Curly maple back/sides with Bloodwood/Maple/Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany binding/purfling.

It has a nice blend between the cedar and the maple, but I want to go bold with lots of colors. I'm doing classical's, so as much as I'd love to do a Haans, I'm not sure how a bold purf line would look on a classical.

Show me your best color (or ideas for great color). This build will also be a Cedar/Maple - don't know why, but I just love the combination!
