two-tone fizik tape on your c&v?

been thinking of trying the fizik two-tone tape (blue/white) on a baby blue univega. if you've tried the fizik two-tone tape or another two-color option, please share opinions and pics. this one with fizik in red/white is from the net:



thanks.

I used to have a white/grey on my Concorde. A bit hard to get the pattern right, but with some trial and errors I got it acceptable eventually. Thought it looked good in combination with the color of the bike.

This is Benotto, not Fizik, but the aesthetic issues are similar.

I have the black / blue on a more modern ride. The black and blue are distinguishable from each other, but not nearly to the extent of the examples above. I like it, but because it's more subdued.
