There is something about the beautiful bamboo stitch that feels a little classier than some of the other knitting stitches. The elegant stitch looks complicated, but it's actually a fairly simple stitch, and it looks amazing when the entire piece is completed. Because the stitch is so detailed, it looks beautiful in solid colors.
If you want to add a little extra pow to your design, you could try a hued yarn to add wavering colors in addition to the beautiful pattern of the stitch.
