That depends on the color of your bike. When I worked in the shop, I had white plastic tape on my yellow bike. By riding home from work every day with grease on my hands, the tape came to match the bike. People used to ask me how I found tape to match so well. I just smiled and thanked them. Suppose I could have called it a "customized color".
Oil is good, grease is better.
