Cerakote color pattern suggestions for rifle stock

I am taking one of my rifles to get a cerakote job done at the local custom shop. Single color cerakote - rifle, stock, scope, etc. is $275. Any patterns over 1 color starts running pretty costly. I think he said three colors on the stock, like a camo pattern, doubles the price. With another build going, just can't afford that.
They have a titanium color I am doing the action and scope. It is like a darker SS color. Kind of stuck on the stock color. I am thinking a dark green. Any suggestions or folks that have pics is appreciated to get some ideas.
 
Can't help you with the color...but wanted to mention something on having the stock done. Make sure you have a conversation with the coater about the proper curing temp for your stock.

Not long ago, I ended up redoing a very good aftermarket synthetic that was almost ruined by the curing temp used after coating. Luckily, the stock was able to be salvaged after a lot of mill work to straighten out the action inlet, barrel channel and bottom metal inletting.

Better to have that discussion ahead of time than afterwards. ;) -Al
