Default What Colour Hackles?

What is the best colour hackle to use when tying the Large Dark Olives, I want to invest in a couple of new capes & I've already decided on a Blue Dun to tie up the Iron Blue Duns and the BWO's later on in the season.

I recently bought a Metz dark dun cape which I like for LDO imitations. It's quite close to the colour of natural CDC, which also works well.
