Any recommendation for unique filament colors?

I love SpiderMaker matt PLA. It really offers some pretty unique pastel colors and a really smooth finish.  I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for other filaments that have unusual colors or finish.  I'm considering trying Polymaker Starlight. Any others that may be worth checking out?  Thanks.

There are the various wood-filled PLA's and Proto Pasta have metal powder filled PLA's that can be oxidized and give a weathered metal appearance. Example their iron filled filament can actually be "rusted" (iron oxide) after processing. 

I like the glass fiber filled filaments and gives a really funky matte finish but they need to be washed to remove loose fibers.

I concur with hyger, check out Proto-Pasta. Their metal stuff is great, but they also have a great selection of "normal" PLA but with unique additions, such as their unicorn white or any of their "sparkly" filaments ( https://proto-pasta.com/collections/sparkly-finish). I spent a lot more money on Proto-Pasta than I really should...

Thanks. Those looks very cool (if somewhat expensive :).  I'll check them out.

EU Makers has probably the largest option for colors that I've seen.

Fillamentum is another good choice, I love their crystal line of PLA

The hard part of your question is your location.
