Accent's and choices of hardwoods??

[T Folts]

I've been contemplating on the use of accents in risers and the use of all wood accents. My typical colors are white black and light brown and dark brown. So what woods would you suggest that fall into these color spectrums that are hard (strong) enough.  I know what I would use just looking for additional Ideas.  

Thanks for input

White- maple and white hickory
light brown- tan hickory
dark brown- wenge

Probably lots more....

Bocote makes nice accents.

Figured Walnut or Macassar Ebony for brown
Holly or Figured Maple for White.
Catalox or Blackwood for black.

I usually tend toward a nice curly maple and figured walnut (or burl), but really anything curly and burly looks beautiful.  I've recently started working with quarter sawn sycamore and it's really nice.  
You can also take a curly or figured maple and stain it to a darker color and it will really bring out the grain.  Check out Kenny M's website for a really nice picture of a stained figured maple bow.  Beautiful.

A good brown color would be ipe. Bloodwood for a reddish color.
