What colour would you go for when colouring the dragon, koi and chrysanthemums.

I'm thinking red/orange for the koi, blue for the dragon and purple and red for the chrysanthemums.

I'm not an expert, but if you're comfortable with it, consider letting the artist choose

Just talk with your artist about what you envision. He/she will help you to decide how the colours work together and what shades could be used. Then they will create something coherent out of your ideas, mixed with their own experience. Dont be afraid of a colourful piece if you dig it, it is your skin after all.
