Seems there are a number of ways to present these colours, Don Goldman used salmon pinks and grey blue and got a good result too.

Having such a nice size field with sufficient FL is pretty handy as it allows the object/s to be presented in a number of framings at different magnifications and stuill maintain high levels of detail, I think my favourite framing is this one:
