Bar tape and ultegra hoods

well i took a spill today on the speed machine and need to replace my left side shifter hood (ultegra 6700) and my bar tape. On my felt AR4 2009. I was thinking red for the bar tape to match my jerseys, something i was going to do soon because white is impossible to keep clean and black for the shifter heads...

Any suggestions on colors/brands to go for out there in the endless sea of products and where should i get the shifter hood from?

That's really nice stuff. Expensive, but it feels so good and it's durable.

I prefer not to worry too much about bar tape. When it gets a little dirty or worn you can change it. Changing the color of your bar tape is almost like buying a new bike, only cheaper.
