I would recommend the Orcein stain: Henwood, A., (2003) "Current applications of orcein in histochemistry. A brief review with some new observations concerning influence of dye batch variation and aging of dye solutions on staining" Biotech Histochem. 78(6):303-8.
And you can pair the orcein stain with several counterstains (Picro light green, Periodic acid Blue Schiff's, Perls, H&E etc.): Henwood, A.F., (2002) "The Orcein Stain: A versatile stain for Histopathology" J. Histotechn. 25(1):29-32.
