Suggestions wanted as to which colour to use on the new rib basket.

I am now close to the point at which I must use another colour on the rib basket I am making. I am attempting to use up the ends of skeins of previously dyed cane, and will not have enough of the walnut dyed 1/4" cane to finish the basket. So, which would you suggest I use to finish it? The red here is a little wider at 3/8" and would be a nice contrast.



This 1/2" undyed would be more subtle.








The similarly sized grey-blue would also work in a subdued manner.







While the vibrant emerald green would add distinction to the basket.







This is the basket at its current status. I have added another seven ribs to each segment. There are now two dozen ribs in all. The basket-makers adage says you can never have too many ribs!






So, what do you blog followers suggest as the best colour to use to finish this basket?
