As already mentioned, after a few hundred miles both the saddle and the bar tape are going to change color so beware of trying to be to matchy, matchy. Every leather takes a dye slightly different so exact match is tough. Sometimes I suggest a contrast so It doesn't look like an attempt to match that missed. IE - a honey saddle with a black leather saddle bag or vice versa. To me, the honey is a warm color that says "come take me for a ride"
