Handlebar tape options

Getting to the point where I should start thinking about handlebar tape options for the Univega Super Speciale. Unfortunately, I'm not enamored of any of the options currently in my bag-o-tape. I'm looking for opinions on these options or suggestions for other options. (Refer to the above Flickr link for "better" pix of the bike.)

Grey... This is some Fizik tape I bought for Ellen's Specialized Roubaix, but it's my only grey option, and kind of matches the Shimano grey housing, which was chosen because I have it in copious amounts (happy to sell a few feet to people in need):



Baby blue... Again, this particular roll is destined for another bike, my Frejus Tour de France:



White... I have a few rolls of this white cork Guidoline tape. I bought it with the idea that maybe I could dye it. That hasn't happened yet. If you've got some tape that floats my boat and want white, I'd be willing to trade:



Yellow... Normally, blue/yellow is perfect for me, as I went to college at UCLA. The Univega doesn't have any yellow contrast colors though. Maybe I can fill in the lug cutouts:



Finally, I suppose I could go for red, as that's the color of the graphics on the Regina group. Still, I don't see myself being thrilled with that much red on a blue frame:



Inputs welcome. Ping me if you have something you think I might want.
