    The tan doesn't seem to help the braids stand out. What does white look like?

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. My problem is that I did not think when I was putting the braids together, and managed to put both tans and some black. Someone suggested a dark brown and I am starting to think in that direction, as well as maybe a deep gray. It is a neutral and that is what I want. I like the idea of the braids "popping", but not so much that it overwhelms the rest. I used to my EQ5 to audition some different ones. Still deciding.

    I really like that antique gold! It gives it subtle warmth and makes your eye focus on the braid.

    I agree with this idea! Use both colors, the tan and black together.

    I like the idea of black but this shows up as a warm golden color that complements the braids.

    I think the black would make your beautiful braids pop....

    I think this is nice, but play around with it, try black, then try the gray. Gray's are very hip these days.

    I love the way the braids seem to float on this color! Nice!
