And if you're ever wanting to use a truly beautiful striking red, there's a gorgeous Ornela czech colour called "ruby" (Not "garnet" which is much darker) - the number is 9009. The rod looks yellow, but it strikes easily, looks very dark when hot, but cools to a stunning, bright deep red.
I bought it from the Ombos place awhile ago, but now it looks like someone in the states is selling czech rods, so that will be a real plus.
I'll post a picture of both the Lauscha 219 and an ornela bead when I can figure out how to get the photo off my phone.
Cheers.
