Any suggestions on what else can I add (eventually - not right now,
since I am adding gradually) that isn't black or white/silver??? I
have SOFT water, with 0-0-10 parameters for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate.
Could I add some discus? I know that they can be quite colorful. I'd
like something with some size, since everything else seems small.

For vivid blue - Cardinal or Neon Tetra.

For vivid orange - Tuxedo Lyretail Swords (Platy)

For a flash of red - Glowlight or Lemon Tetras

Personally my tank almost ended up black white and orange

I added 11 Neons, 6 Black Neons, 2 lyertail Swords (male and female are
equally as vivid) and 10 Black Phantom Tetras, which do go black (the
males), but the females and the males have this iridescent green or blue
false eye thing happening which looks beautiful and is a nice contrast in
the tank - the males display and "dance" not unlike the Serpae, but without
the fin or body attacks that sometimes can happen with this little orange
devil The female Black Phantoms are slightly pink, like a Red Phantom.

Other than that I've seen some beautiful Sunset Plays which graduate from
yellow to orange, but I am not going to get them because of the Swords - I
don't want to cross breed these two types of fish by accident.
