"Ntd" = "new tape day"?

New tape... <sigh> ... this is one of those things that doesn't become obviously necessary, like a flat tire does.
Instead, it just looks a bit dirtier and rattier month by month, year by year. At some point, you actually look at it and say "I really should replace it, but it's low on the list of things to do".
My Olmo is in that sort of Limbo, waiting for salvation and freshness.
In the right light, it isn't looking too bad...



... but it really is wearing about 20 years of accumulated grime that refuses to be washed off.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a similarly vibrant semi-padded yellow tape?
I'm not thinking of cork tape, nor cloth, nor something thin like Benotto.
Have I reduced the number of candidates to zero yet? Well, let me know what might be a good option.
