Why it works

The M4A1-S Fade runs pink into purple into orange along the receiver, and Sport Gloves Ultra Violent answer with the same purple plus a yellow strap and a cyan finger. Both halves are loud, which usually goes wrong, but here they are loud in the same palette instead of competing in two. Fade sits in a very narrow float band, so it only exists in Factory New and Minimal Wear.

What it costs

With M4A1-S | Fade in Factory New and Sport Gloves | Ultra Violent in Field-Tested, the set comes to $1,134. Sport Gloves | Ultra Violent is 84% of that, so it is the piece to budget around.
