color coordination

Can anyone here -- aesthetic sense or not -- advise me? My TST 'cross bike (commuting and light touring) has a Brooks honey saddle. What color should I use for my bar tape?

How about orange (but not flaming, flourescent orange) or perhaps yellow?

There's a bit of red here and there on my FSA carbon stem and handlebars, but I'm not crazy about red.

It's hard to match that honey saddle to anything, short of using Brooks' leather bar tape, which might seem weird with an ergo bar. Help!

PS - The frame is obviously[edit: brushed] silver, and so is the wheelset, but the rest -- including the Thompson seatpost -- is black.
