I need bar tape to match a Cervelo C3

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I need bar tape to match a Cervelo C3

It's the older paint, dark gray (almost black) with a sort of rust brown highlight. I just changed the bottle cages and now there's too much black on the bike, so I'm looking for reddish brown bar tape, almost the color of wet clay. Leather would probably work well, but I don't want to spend the $$$ and like the feel of cork.

Salsa makes something pretty close, I wonder if there's another choice?

It's probably too subtle for you but Syntace Cork bar tape has golden specks.
