-Advents would make excellent Accents! You could use a different group for each Clue.
-Gradients would be fantastic as well. Start at one end and work in Clue order increasing along your Gradient as you go through the Clues.
-If using more than (6) Accents, the most you will ever use in one Clue of each color is approx. 16gr/58yds.
