Some sort of dark foresry green. Those metallic coper and blue colors are nice, too.

Maple and Shoreline gold look pretty slick.

That shoreline gold was pretty nice too.

I'm a bit meh on most other combinations - I just don't like the look of maple fretboards. :idk:

Maple is very picky for what it goes with...black (the best), blonde, cream, shades of white, pink, red, dark greens

You can go on OffsetGuitars.com and use their dressing room. I can spend hours on it.

Love shell pink, and most pastels (surf/seafoam green, sonic/Daphne blue), but I'm not a fan of black with maple..I think black needs rosewood or some other dark wood.

I'm a fan of my maple neck strat, which is a minty green that I believe was called sage green metallic.

Shell Pink is so awesome. There was a mid 90s MIJ 56 RI for sale here in town for months, but I just didn't have the extra cash at the time, then it ultimately sold. Great neck. Still kicking myself.
