My chestnut PBA starts her 2010 show season in 2 weeks, and I need to get on with making her a browband (hack and PBA classes). I make them myself so can choose the exact colours I want, but I cannot think what would best suit a chestnut! She had a navy blue and gold one last year, but it didn't look as striking as I had hoped. I know people think green looks good on chestnuts, but what other colours could go with it? Any advice appreciated.

Here are some (rather grubby) pictures of her taken about a month ago

My boy used to do his races in a light blue (turquoise) bridle. Not just the browband but the whole bridle. Suppose it would have to be an uber chestnut to get away with that :)
