but anywho...here are the combo's i've tried:

Copper lips and flat black centers

I like the flat black lip/teal centers the best. Most unique IMO.

Purple anodized/metallic lips, black center either gloss or matte.

If you want real life pics send me a PM I did that combo last year it's great on a black car.

get the lips copper plated, and then the centers flat black. not color copper, but actual copper plating, which is one of the steps before chroming. anodize it clear and call it a day. would look sick imo
