I have 2 male fo's. One discolors to ugly yellowish tan and the other to yellow.

The yellow is Mayan Gold....a patchouli orange floral mix and I have no idea how to make that look respectable.

. The other is redwood cedar. I was thinking a red could handle the discoloration and look rusty. But what other color would work with that?
 
For the Mayan Gold that turns yellow:
Maybe add a gold mica to tone down the yellow? With an orange swirl/tiger stripe, perhaps? My favorites of of the colors in the links are Golden Buddha for gold and Koi for the orange. I LOVE Always a Bridesmaid, but I don't think it would work here.

For the Redwood Cedar, I like your idea of adding a red to get a rusty color. Maybe add a brown swirl/tiger stripe for fun? My favorite here is Tall, Dark & Handsome, but I like Sexy Stranger on a Train for a more copper brown.

BTW, I just realized after posting that all these links look the same!!
The first one is for golds micas, the second for orange micas, and the last for brown micas.
