Suggested Colorways - 
For those of you interested in Koi-themed colorways, I dug through the interwebs and tracked down a few good ones. 
From Three Irish Girls Adorn Luxe - Dragon Lady (This may still be a StevenBe exclusive, you can check and see if they have it) 
From madelinetosh - Modern Fair Isle in all their fingering weight bases (Tosh Mo Light, Tosh Twist Light, Tosh Sock) 
From Mrs Crosby Train Case in Neil - this is an eatsleepknit.com exclusive
There are a few others out there I’m sure I missed, and you can always pick another color for your koi! They come in quite the rainbow of colors.
For your contrasting color I’m recommending using a nice teal blue or deep blue to represent the water.
