Ok I got a problem. I have a Tournament on Saturday and Sunday. I want to have a my whole army painted. I need to get my Marra Platoons standard Bearer Finished. I am using the same format as the below image.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Kc14A0frDNk/Spuf9N4jc5I/AAAAAAAAARA/KrW3mnAFlco/s1600-h/Blog+127.jpg
With the banner I am about to start the main colour in replace of the Regal Blue is Iyaden Darksun. Now what other colours do you think I should use for the trim and such?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: If you can't see the image. The majority of the banner (center) is Regal blue. The Banner Trim is Enchanted Blue, the scroll parts are dehneb stone and the skull is gold.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Kc14A0frDNk/Spuf9N4jc5I/AAAAAAAAARA/KrW3mnAFlco/s1600-h/Blog+127.jpg

Here's my "I teach color theory" answer:

Since the colors you have already are a turquoise-blue and a navy-blue, your best bet is to use the complementary (opposite on the color wheel) color, which is a red-orange. What I would do is paint your trim and rope with scab red, then pick out the details with a 50/50 mix of blood red and fiery orange. Your metal, if any, should be a fairly orange-ish brass rather than gold.

Sorry I don't think I went into enough detail in my first post. Each of my Platoons has a colour which I put on said platoons right shoulder pad. I have a Blue Platoon, a Red Platoon and a Green Platoon. Each one of them has the main colour in the center and a brighter version of that colour as the trim. And not all of them have the rope from the top down.
