I have white on mine and it doesnt get dirty but, on that bike I would put black tape since almost everything else is black.

That said, the black tape/saddle setup looks just dandy, and I doubt getting a white saddle to do white tape will be so obviously better looking. Maybe a base black tape with white accents would be cool, or something like Cinelli's Zebra tape; or how about shiny silver?

Thanks everyone.
The white tape is fizik dual, and yes it cleans up very well. I wear gloves and it stays fairly clean so thats not really a big issue for me.
The silver is a pretty viable option that I hadnt considered before.
I probably wont use red but I was thinking about trying some blues maybe match the pedals, maybe not.
Thanks again all. Safe happy riding.
