Default Striking color combo

What's the most striking color combo you've seen in a tank.. say with just two types of fish?

What do you guys think about 2 yellow tangs and like a dozen blue damsels? I think I saw a setup like this yrs back in an 125.

a school of blue tangs and a school of yellow tangs is nice but needs a decent sized tank...
I like big angels, but they need big tanks too
there are some small species of groupers that only get 3 inches long and they are respectivly, bright blue, bright yellow, bright red. very nice peaceful easy to keep fish, just hard to get ahold of.
in a marine tank its pretty hard to not have a couple fish make a diverse colour combination...

Default Tang

I was told yellow Tangs don't do well in pairs, 1 or more then 2. I do like the idea of Yellow Tangs and Blue Tangs.

I love yellow tangs and green chromis. Kind of plain but I like it.
