Which color bar tape?!

So I've been playing around with all sorts of things lately in an effort to fit my bike to myself. I recently bit the bullet and traded stems with a Craigslister (My Forte Pro for his Deda Zero) to get a better angle. It's great now!

The problem is, it's silver! Woe is OCP!

At first, I was thinking about spray painting it black. But that would lose me major points, as well as a +6 in tackiness. That made me come up with an idea.. why not replace my bar tape? I could get a new color. I could even get white bar tape! Yeah! Or shiny metallic silver! I've got a white frame with silver components and a black fade near the head tube.

I did the only natural thing and took pictures to ask you guys. What do you think would look the best?

P.S. My mom came over today. I was explaining to her my dilemna about the need for color-coordinated-ness when she remarked "you bikers care about that stuff? what a bunch of women.."
