    Garter Colors - What would you pick?

    Okay rabble, I'd like to toss a question out there to you all.
    I'm in the queue for a Matt Newsome box pleated kilt in the Modern Mackay sett/colors.
    In the next couple of months I'll be purchasing some new kilt hose & traditional garter ties (aprox. 3 pairs of hose).

    The hose colors I'm considering are:
    Bottle Green / Navy / Black / Bison / Grey / & Charcoal (see examples below).

    Though I have some ideas already, I'd like to gather the opinions of the rabble as to the garter colors you would match up to the afore mentioned hose colors?

    Below is a picture of the garter colors avaliable & the descrition of the colors themselves.


    left to right:
    black, charcoal, grey, ecru (white), bottle green, loden, lovat green, claret, brick, tartan (modern) red, ancient red (orange), purple, navy blue, St. Andrews blue, ancient blue, brown, and bison

    Oh! I should mention (if it makes a difference) I usually wear a solid black colored shirt or earthy brown wool sweater (black is my color, even in summer).


    Thanks.
