Saddle suggestions Trek 1200

Im currently building up a trek 1200 for myself and it has come time to choose a saddle.I was thinking about picking up a Brooks Cambium C17. I`m between a few different colors and needed help deciding, I`m between the natural, slate and possibly the rust. let me know what you think would look best, Thanks!

Just one person's opinion here but I don't think a Brooks saddle is the right "look" for a bike of this era.

Disregard if you're dead set on the Brooks but if you're open to suggestions, you might take a look at the clean profile of a Bontrager Serrano.

I understand, the thing was that I needed a saddle that was a good fit for me which the c17 does plus I think it has sort of a clean look to it, especially in the slate and possibly the natural
