I think I might be mixing up two different 80’s refurbishing projects.

Her bike definitely had white (sticky, nasty, and cracked) hoods that were very easy to replace with black.

Maybe mine was black. I definitely remember white tape and cables, and 20mm Tanwall Panaracer tires. From a keeping things clean perspective, black would be a better choice.

White tape/cables with black hoods. Tan wall tires, 25mm or so. Trying to squint my eyes to imagine it, but I think I like it.
