Colour complimentary

Mint is magic. Nuff said.

Tort or mots. Don’t be distracted by other contenders. Imhop, the tort will not get old on you as quickly as the periloid. Either would look great.

I'm partial to black on this one because it matches the blocks and binding.

I know you're possibly talking Fender but this demonstrates well enough..

and sorry tort lovers, but the old adage is red and green should never be seen (together)!!

Mother nature never heard that rule and I think you’ll find it’s blue and green anyway. Nature never heard about that one either. As in music, rules are made to be broken.

Black pearloid

Just for fun I googled the Hex color code for Sea Foam Green. The code is 71EEB8

Next I loaded the code into a color calculator and selected complementary color.
Here's the calculator: Color Wheel - Color Calculator | Sessions College
I got color code EE8471

I find it interesting how the colors appears to be different when viewed separately versus together.

The color calculator has several other color schemes. I like the look of Triadic, which are colors evenly space around the color wheel. The color calculator indicates these are the Triadic matches to Sea Foam Green.

EEC271 and EE71CB

Possible combinations.

Perhaps you want a bit more blue in the base color.

You can actually use the color calculator linked above to pick the exact color you want.

For example, 85F0E3 is called Very Soft Cyan...this seems to be closer to the color of some of the basses shown in this thread.

Enter a color code on this page and it will generate various color schemes and also closely related colors, tints, and shades.

Color Hex - ColorHexa.com
This should open up to Very Soft Cyan.
#85f0e3 hex color

Who knew you could have so much fun with color?

What colour pickguard would folks recommend to go on a sea foam green body?

Black looks great on green. I love tort, but not a fan of it with green.

Is that Salmon that goes along with Sea Foam Green according to the color wheel? Who knew...
