I can't post a picture since I'm at work, but I have silver and they blend in great.

I've got silver too, but I do have a few clear brackets. They look good on both and I plan to stick with them.

Here is a link that might give you an idea of how the colors your interested in look.

Oh, rats. I've got pics to share, but I have clear brackets in the front.
For what it's worth, you can see them on the metal brackets that I have in the back:

Silver looks nice with the metal, and doesn't seem to stain.
Here are Silver in the back:

Here are Pearl in the back:

And here's what the Pearl look like once they are stained - after two weeks. Although it looks pretty cruddy on the clear brackets, as you can see the metal brackets don't show it so badly:

While highly entertaining on a witty mug or shirt, that hardly seems appropriate for a forum where discussion is encouraged. At very least, there are more polite ways to express disagreement.

There is a good picture of silver ligs on metal brackets on page 62 of the lig colors thread. (Posted by Pearls). As for pearl and clear ligs, those are usually chosen by us clear bracket folks. I think white will actually be pretty noticeable on metal brackets. Silver is my personal fav for my metal brackets. Discreet and stain resistant.

The fact is, you did not trawl through 61 pages of the lig thread, and now you're pissed that someone has pointed that out so you're hurling abuse at her. How immature, but then that's what you are.

Lionfish: I agree with you 100%. I have seen people come and go in this forum and not many as steadfast as Meryaten in knowleldge and helpfullness.
Well said Meryaten. Have not been around this forum much lately but could not resist standing in your corner on this one.
Language in this or any forum should not be foul.
Kudos to you both.

FARLEY! Shame on you! I have broken the links to my own pics that I so helpfully posted.
Next time you ought to:
(a) do your own footwork; and
(b) refrain from hurling idiotic abbreviations at our Meryaten.
This isn't YouTube.
