Best colours for a buckskin

[FairyLights]

I have a chocolate/buckskin gelding 15hh. He's quite dark brown at the moment with a bit of "yellow" in winter he's more yellowy/cream than brown. What colour browband and numnah? Also hacking jacket shirt and stock for me

What type is he eg riding horse, cob, hunter?

oh, forgot to say, sorry.I am thinking of local riding horse classes.

For riding horse classes you need a discrete brown numnah, you should wear a shirt and tie not stock with the tweed, green tweed would look smart with a navy based tie to match your hat.
Browbands can be anything that takes your fancy but a turquoise or green is smart on buckskins, I would probably have navy, white and green with a little gold trimming, get a tie with some green in it and the whole picture would gel without looking too matchy.

Green tweed, navy hat and either a blue or green browband to tone in with your jacket and hat. I think that brown tweed would give a very brown picture. You should wear a shirt and tie, the tie can match a colour in the browband.

I like the green and blue/turquoise idea. Was considering burgundy and gold browband but I think your ideas pull the whole thing together better.

I have a buckskin tobiano (whose colour is quite pale- I realise not the same shade as your chap) and I have an olive Caldene tweed which I wear with a bottle green tie (with gold spots). I also have a golden buckskin and I wear a caramel tweed with him (or I did, back in the day when we used to get out and about more).

Keeping to the green theme; a friend of mine shows in a dark green tweed, gold and bottle browband and green hat (though I realise that's technically incorrect- she only does little locals and the odd small county). I have to say, it does look really nice. I'm also incorrect as my hat is brown!
