Used to be Black for me, now Honey or Brown, especially on C+V. 
Still dig Black too, no way to go wrong with Brooks if only for aesthetic IMHO and have one on all of my bikes, they work for me.

The nice thing about black saddles is, even though black may not be the first choice, it can be used on any bike.

My personal vote would be black leather saddle and red bar tape with red cable housings; but, hey, it's hard for one of those bikes to look bad however you do it.
