Colour Combination

I've started knitting a sweater and I've been giving the colour combination a thought for like a year already and still can't seem to be able to decide on what I truly want.
The torso is dyed black wool and I will be needing three different colours in the pattern that's over the chest. I am quite in love with a candy floss pink and kinda want to combine it with white for even more contrast but I'm running into trouble with the third colour.
I've done one combination with the pink colour and two purpley ones and I really love that but I'm not sure if I want it on my sweater as well or to change it a bit.
Pink Combo 1
Pink Combo 2
The pattern across the chest on my sweater will look a lot like this and the sleeves and torso are also the same kind of black.
If anyone could suggest a third colour that might work with a pink/white pattern on black I'd be very happy! I've considered either of the purpley colours I have used but I kinda feel like I'm stuck inside the box.
The pattern looks like this here: Sweater

Oh my! That is exactly what I was thinking.
I might go check out the teal collection tomorrow and see if the available colours work for me. I've got one sleeve to go before I start knitting the pattern, this is super fun.
Here's what my sweater ended up like:
My own unique sweater, woo!
I'm washing it now, heehee. Can't wait to be able to wear it! Especially as it's been below -10°C these days, brrr. Need to sew a bit and add a zipper before it's ready. Oh, and dry it off.
How long did it take you to complete?
I wish I had the patience to finish an entire jumper. I usually get bored somewhere around the yoke
I'm quite lucky, in my work I get rather long breaks throughout my day so it's the perfect time to sit and knit. I'm trying to motivate myself to do something productive rather than sleep (bad habit!).
