Must have hackle colors?

[1hook]

So I got the itch to buy another cape, I currently have black, cream, brown, ginger, medium dun. Besides those colors what should be my next color purchase. I really like some of the olive grizzly capes I see. Any suggestions on a commonly used cape that I'm missing in my collection?

Edit... I have a natural grizzly as well

Peruse these colors from Campfire Lodge

Regular grizzly is useful for a lot of patterns; by itself or mixed (olive grizz is nice; got one for green drakes (western)/flavs). Badger's kinda handy, too, either silver or golden.

Natural grizzly seems to be the glaring omission from your list. If you are only getting one cape (or saddle) get the natural, 90% of the grizzle I use are natural, the rest I just colour with a permanent marker (before tying).

Agree with those above posts that suggested 'natural grizzly'.

Oh sorry yes I've got a natural grizzly cape as well

I never thought about coloring the hackle... Good idea

Since you do have a grizzly you might want to look at a barred ginger cape. I bought one about a year ago and have used it a lot more than I thought I would.
