I'm finalizing all the parts for a build I'm doing for my wife. I have everything together except the brakes (Tektro R559 when I get around to it/find some on sale), headset (probably tange NJS because I need 38 mm stack, but might go with the 7400 I have on hand, which kind of seems a waste for a bike she's not going to ride a ton, but the only other bike I have in the works is a mtb drop bar conversion on which it wouldn't be any more appropriate), and cables.

The frameset is a red '85 Cannondale ST-400, which I guess is fire engine or brick red.

I'm trying to figure out what color housing would go best with it. It's going to have a honey saddle and tape (on mustache bars) with cream colored sks longboards and a rack with an almost matching blonde wood topper.

I had considered red, but I haven't seen any that was close in color, and a completely different shade would look weird to me. The other colors I'd considered were black (because the group will be black 8 speed LX), white, yellow, and blue.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
