What color glass would copperhead skins look best on, white, brown, black, or green? I'm wanting a bright vibrant look.
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

NO BLACK!

Lay the skin on white paper and see what it looks like

I can only say as Mark did; not black. Did that many years ago and it wasn't pretty.

I'll take some colored "construction paper", with each of the colors under the skins, and see what looks best. Curious what green may look like.
  Thanks guys.

If I were building a bow with the intent to skin it with Copperhead I would try to find some of the light tan glass.
