White or translucent water bottle?

What do you prefer on a bright 70s bike: white or translucent water bottle?
Yes I like details

Alright. But why not a plain REG bottle?

I can't help but use specialized big mouth bottles on bikes of any vintage. They work well, clean up well, and can be had in any color. Oh, I like clear. It helps me monitor my levels.

To me transluscent looks more period correct for a 70's bike for some reason, but white looks better on most bikes. The nicest looking bottle I ever owned was a white one with big winged "C" Cinelli logos on it I got back in the late 80's. Sadly it outgassed it's plasticizers and cracked on me some years ago. Now if you can find them, sellers want big bucks for them....
