Default Best Colors For Etching?

My apologizes ahead of time if there has already been a thread listing the best colors to etch ... but I'll be darned if I can find it through the search. I know I love ivory, both dark and light, turquoise and light steel grey ... got any favorites I should try? Better yet, got pics?

This set has CIM Mojito, Steel Grey, CIM Rose Quartz and Effetre Opal Rose - I think all of them look lovely etched, particularly Mojito.
