Rivet question - different colors?

I am pretty new to skinning and have been using a fairly simple technique for my rivets.
I use a 2pt light gray for the basic rivet, then a add a 2 pt black with 1 pixel gaussian blur underneath for a shadow. I usually do the base skin at 2048x2048 and then resize to to 1024, so I thought this looked alright.

Problem is, I am working on a Ki84 skin and wanted to do a full metal and light earth color variant also(the base skin is green) .
With the lighter colors the rivets almost disappear or look funny.

Should I be using different color combos for different base colors?

Any comments or suggestions on the color issue or my techniques would be most welcome.
